Publisher's Synopsis

  • Coffee House loves a poet-novelist, and Vi's work is a perfect example of why-by taking on language as a set of tools to create a meaning particular to the text at hand, the story of parental grief in Fish in Exile feels piercing, disorienting, and intimate and the opposite of cliché.
  • Vi's debut novel will come on the heels of her debut poetry collection from Nightboat, a press whose tightly curated list has a devoted reader and bookseller following, which has already created interest in Vi's forthcoming fiction
  • As difficult as the premise of the novel is, it is also ultimately a hopeful book, one that offers the possibility for people to find their own ways through a profound loss, however bizarre or futile those might seem from the outside
  • The emotional impact, vulnerability, and sentence-level wow-factor of Fish should find natural readers in fans of A Little Life and books like it, who appreciate a novel's ability to provoke an emotional response
