First he told her about the affair. Then he told her about the baby. Her life as she knew it was over.
Not just another divorce memoir, BLACK FISH: MEMOIR OF A BAD LUCK GIRL chronicles the relationship between a Chinese woman and a Korean man, both American-born but bound by old world traditions. It "transforms an account of a failed marriage into a work of dark enchantment," says Peter Trachtenberg, author of Seven Tattoos: A Memoir in the Flesh. "This is a memoir that spares no one, least of all its unblinking narrator, who records the breakup in prose as clear and bitter as medicine and as beguiling as a dream."
BLACK FISH was a finalist for Graywolf Press's 2010 Nonfiction Prize.
