July’s book was chosen by one of our booksellers: Fish Tales by Nettie Jones.
“A mesmerizing spin through the high-rolling high times of 1970s New York and Detroit, Nettie Jones’s Fish Tales is a lost classic taking its rightful place in the spotlight.
A bold exploration of the blurred line between love and control, pleasure and addiction, Nettie Jones’s Fish Tales offers a glittering, devastating portrait of a woman’s pursuit of her own kind of freedom. As provocative as it is moving, as profane as it is artful, it illuminates the warring forces of power, desire, intimacy, and fear, and exposes the raw nerve of our yearning to be loved on our own terms.”
