Truly exquisite collection of essays. Definitely deserves the label “lyric.”

I enjoyed the book and really liked the references the author makes to history and mythology. However some of these references made me lost at points.

I learnt a lot about fish reading this book and I was specially interested in the stories around eels <3

Have you ever been cast in plaster? Would you prefer to assume a physical form that is other than human? How many times will you die in this life, and how do you prepare? If you’ve ever felt like a foreign visitor, another species or the mere prop of an indifferent play, check out the lyric essay Voice of the Fish by Graywolf Press Nonfiction Prize winner Lars Horn. Let Horn’s mother pose you as her artist’s model, hitch a postlingual ride with them across former Soviet Georgia, seek the healing counsel of a Piscean soothsayer, and step outside the cramped boxes of the binary in favor of more commodious quarters.
