Why read it?
2 authors picked Gould's Book of Fish as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Completely unlike anything I'd read before. Larger than life. Phantasmagorical characters and settings. A truly out-of-the-ordinary book.
An island off Tasmania, a convict prison, a convict artist and writer--a fantastical dream which in the end is in ruins and the artist becomes a fish.

In the end we realise we don't know the truth, and at the same time know more about violence than we ever wanted to know.
