Fish in Exile

By Vi Khi Nao

Book Overview

The loss of a child takes mythological, magical casts--distortions that allow us to see the contours of grief more clearly.

How do you grieve the death of a child? With fishtanks and jellyfish burials, Persephone's pomegranate seeds, and affairs with the neighbors. Fish in Exile spins unimaginable loss through classical and magical tumblers, distorting our view so that we can see the contours of a parent's grief all the more clearly.
