Fish Tales

THE REDISCOVERED CULT CLASSIC Bouncing between the bohemian demimonde of New York and the affluent Black community of Detroit in the 1970s, Lewis Jones is a party girl for the ages - a woman in her thirties who has reached a point of freedom, confidence, and mayhem. She is supported in her adventures, in every way, by her husband, Woody. She is accompanied by her friend Kitty Kat, a gay hustler with impeccable style and a knack for finding all the best spots.
She soaks in baths of champagne, powders her nose with cocaine, wakes up on silk sheets with a variety of lovers. And then she is finally, truly upended by the handsome, erudite, often cruel Brook - a man who won't tolerate her attempts to take control. A wild swirl of desire, pleasure, power, drugs, and sex, this is a bold exploration of the blurred spaces we inhabit-sexuality and race, agency and exploitation, selfhood and intimacy, sanity and self-destruction, art and the profane.
Provocative, sharp-tongued and kaleidoscopic, Fish Tales is time-capsule with an unnervingly contemporary message.
