David Applefield

On a Flying Fish David Applefield

Fiction. In this wildily imaginative display of storytelling, an obsessive book editor abandons the pressures of his professional life and seeks contemporary Bohemia in the Uber-rational city of Frankfurt--accompanied by his enigmativ girlfriend, their barkless basenji dog, and an unpublishable manuscript of questionable origin and multiple voices. That follows is a feisty head-on collision of fiction and reality. Anyone deep in a tortured relationship will love the bittersweet conflict between domesticity and the pursuit of an artful like. FLYING FISH "contains passages of very fine writing, brilliant juxtapositions, and deeply moving meditations..."--Library Journal.
