Fish Tales - The Dazzling Lost Classic

THE DAZZLING LOST CLASSIC ABOUT FEMALE DESIRE Bouncing between the bohemian demimonde of New York and the affluent Black community of Detroit in the 1970s, Lewis Jones is a party girl on the edge. Bankrolled by her husband Woody and abetted by her fellow hedonist Kitty Kat, a gay hustler with a knack for finding all the best spots, Lewis stalks her lovers through a fractured world of cocaine parties and champagne baths. Until she is finally, fatally, upended by the handsome, erudite, cruel Brook - a man who won''t allow her to take control. A kaleidoscopic swirl of pleasure, exploitation, sexuality, race and power, Fish Tales is an unnervingly contemporary, razor-sharp exploration of the dark heart of sexual desire. Championed by Toni Morrison and never published in the UK, this lost classic is perfect for fans of In the Cut, Oreo, Luster and I''m a Fan .
