Romancing the Hellfish

Imagine for a moment that you are in school. Your literature teacher has given you yet another book to read, and you loathe it just ten pages in. Maybe you would like reading if the writers you were forced to endure weren't drier than a stale baguette. Perhaps you would care a bit more about the plot if getting through it didn't feel like wading through molasses-topped quicksand. What if one of these "classic" novels truly spoke to you?



Wonder no longer; meet your retroactive catharsis.



This is the tale of a down-on-his-luck Cuban fisherman, an unreasonably large fish, and the fisherman's rapid descent into utter madness. An exceedingly irreverent parody of a certain novella with a truly twisted sense of humor dripping from each page, it is everything every other book about a man fighting a fish was too afraid to be. Full of profanity, drugs, and pure unadulterated fish-based action, Romancing the Hellfish is probably the only book about fish you will ever like, provided you hate books about fish.
