Strutting between the bohemian demimonde of New York City and the affluent Black community of Detroit, she guzzles champagne, snorts piles of cocaine, wakes up on silk sheets with a variety of lovers. And then she is upended by the handsome, erudite, often cruel Brook--a man who has his own bevy of admirers. Soon, Lewis and Brook are ensnared in a struggle for dominance that launches them into a shock of violence. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA bold exploration of the blurred line between love and control, pleasure and addiction, Nettie Jones's \u003ci\u003eFish Tales \u003c\/i\u003eoffers a glittering, devastating portrait of a woman's pursuit of her own kind of freedom.
