[EAN: 9781921656347], Neubuch, [PU: Text Publishing, Melbourne], Paperback. In The Dead Fish Museum Charles D'Ambrosio delivers eight short stories full of characters who float through their lives and relationships, adrift and apprehensive, tested by failure and strengthened by adversity. The stories are set against a landscape that is both deeply American and unmistakably universal. A son confronts his father's madness and his own hunger for connection on a misguided hike. A screenwriter fights for his sanity in a psych ward while lusting after a ballerina who sets herself ablaze. A hunting trip becomes the scene of a haunting reckoning with marital infidelity and desperation. And in the magnificent title story, carpenters building sets for a porn movie drift dreamily towards an act of racial violence they will never fully comprehend. Set in remote cabins, asylums, Indian reservations and the streets of suburbia, this collection conjures a world that is fearfully inhospitable, darkly humorous, and touched by humanity. Eight short stories full of characters who float through their lives and relationships, adrift and apprehensive, tested by failure and strengthened by adversity. Set in remote cabins, asylums, Indian reservations and the streets of suburbia, this collection conjures a world that is fearfully inhospitable, darkly humorous, and touched by humanity.

A Los Angeles Times Best Book in 2009. Set in remote cabins, asylums, Indian reservations and the streets of suburbia, the stories in The Dead Fish Museum conjure a world that is fearfully inhospitable, darkly humorous, and touched by humanity. Charles D'Ambrosio delivers eight short works of fiction that are full of characters floating through their lives and relationships, adrift and apprehensive, tested by failure and strengthened by adversity, set against a landscape that is both deeply American and unmistakably universal. A son confronts his father's madness and his own hunger for connection on a misguided hike. A screenwriter fights for his sanity in a psych ward while lusting after a ballerina who sets herself ablaze. And in the magnificent title story, carpenters building sets for a porn movie drift dreamily toward an act of racial violence they will never fully comprehend. 'D'Ambrosio's powerful, minimalist prose and stories hark back to the work of Raymond Carver and Ernest Hemingway. The stories in The Dead Fish Museum are tight, spare and often haunting.'
