Description
William Bloom never really knew his father, Edward, who told him stories too incredible to believe about his exploits as a younger man. Now, with Edward dying, William sets out to tell his father's story, as he imagines it. He tames a giant, is dragged by an enormous fish through a lake and escapes a purgatory of lost dreams. Through legends and myths, William makes Edward into a true Big Fish. This is a poignant and imaginative novel about a son's love for a charming, unknowable father. The author, Daniel Wallace, mixes the mundane and the mythical, creating a story that has been praised for its originality and moving portrayal of a complex relationship. A major film adaptation starring Ewan McGregor and Jessica Lange is coming soon, and the book is soon to be a Christmas musical at The Other Palace in London.
