This edition of Gould's Book of Fish a Novel in 12 Fish by Richard Flanagan is the Grove Press Books Edition with marbled endpapers. The internationally acclaimed author, Richard Flanagan, has woven a tapestry of 19th century Australia, a world of convicts and colonists, thieves and catamites, whose bloody history is recorded in a very unusual taxonomy of fish. It is a memoir or sorts that begins with a forger and thief who is sentenced to life in prison, only to escape and be once again caught. The prison doctor employs the painting talents of the prisoner, William Gould, to create an illustrated taxonomy of the country's exotic sea creatures. The book is described as a tour de force, a fable that interrogates the authorship of history and science and the substance of artistic creation.
