He fell in love with the black mistress of the warder and discovered too late that to love is not safe; he attempted to keep a record of the strange reality he saw in prison, only to realize that history is not written by those who are ruled. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAcclaimed as a masterpiece around the world, \u003ci\u003eGould's Book of Fish\u003c\/i\u003e is at once a marvelously imagined epic of nineteenth-century Australia and a contemporary fable, a tale of horror, and a celebration of love, all transformed by a convict painter into pictures of fish.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Grove Press","offers":[{"title":"Gould's Book of Fish: A Novel in 12 Fish | Richard Flanagan | Paperback | 9780802139597 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks G 1789156","offer_id":67848592457880,"sku":"1789156","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/71Jylf9X_KL.jpg?v=1793387280","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/goulds-book-of-fish-a-novel-in-12-fish","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
