About this product
Product Information
*2018 Los Angeles Times Book Prize Finalist *Longlisted for The Crook's Corner Book Prize *Longlisted for the 2019 VCU Cabell First Novelist Award *Shortlisted for the 2020 William Saroyan International Prize for Writing for Fiction *A Best Book of 2018 --Kirkus Reviews , BuzzFeed News , Entropy , LitReactor , LitHub * 35 Over 35 Award 2018 *One of the Most Anticipated Books of the Fall -- Vulture , Harper's BAZAAR , BuzzFeed News , Publishers Weekly , The Millions , Bustle , Fast Company It's 16-year-old Edie who finds their mother Marianne dangling in the living room from an old jump rope, puddle of urine on the floor, barely alive. Upstairs, 14-year-old Mae had fallen into one of her trances, often a result of feeling too closely attuned to her mother's dark moods. After Marianne is unwillingly admitted to a mental hospital, Edie and Mae are forced to move from their childhood home in Louisiana to New York to live with their estranged father, Dennis, a former civil rights activist and literary figure on the other side of success. The girls, grieving and homesick, are at first wary of their father's affection, but soon Mae and Edie's close relationship begins to fall apart--Edie remains fiercely loyal to Marianne, convinced that Dennis is responsible for her mother's downfall, while Mae, suffocated by her striking resemblances to her mother, feels pulled toward their father. The girls move in increasingly opposing and destructive directions as they struggle to cope with outsized pain, and as the history of Dennis and Marianne's romantic past clicks into focus, the family fractures further. Moving through a selection of first-person accounts and written with a sinister sense of humor, The Deeper the Water the Uglier the Fish powerfully captures the quiet torment of two sisters craving the attention of a parent they can't, and shouldn't, have to themselves. In this captivating debut, Katya Apekina disquietingly crooks the lines between fact and fantasy, between escape and freedom, and between love and obsession. "The structure, characters and storyline are all refreshingly original, and the writing is nothing short of gorgeous. It's a stunningly accomplished book, and Apekina isn't afraid to grab her readers by the hand and take them to some very dark and very beautiful places." --Michael Schaub, NPR

Reviews
"A story about love and ownership, connection and obsession, this debut novel dives deep into family dynamics." -- Bustle '11 Most Anticipated Books Published By Indie Presses To Have On Your Radar In 2018', "Mental illness and the breakdown of relationships lie at the heart of this debut novel." -- Harper's BAZAAR 'The Best New Books to Read This September', "A novel examines the fraught relationship between artist and muse." -- Publishers Weekly 'Writers to Watch Fall 2018: Anticipated Debuts', "Apekina's debut novel plays with tricky family relationships and the way fact and fantasy, loyalty and obsession, can be so difficult to tease apart." -- The Millions 'Most Anticipated: The Great Second-Half 2018 Book Preview', "It had been a minute since I sat down to read a new novel and found myself completely bowled over by it, swamped in it, enchanted with it... I read the whole thing in one evening, staying up late by the light of my bedside lamp to savor the last pages... Told by an ensemble of narrators and letters, The Deeper the Water the Uglier the Fish delicately unravels layers of family trauma and deeply entrenched injustice." --HuffPost, " The Deeper the Water the Uglier the Fish is brilliantly structured, with multiple characters narrating the events of the novel. It's an unusual technique that Apekina uses to stunning effect, creating a kind of narrative tension that propels the novel forward... The structure, characters and storyline are all refreshingly original, and the writing is nothing short of gorgeous. It's a stunningly accomplished book, and Apekina isn't afraid to grab her readers by the hand and take them to some very dark and very beautiful places." --NPR, "A dynamic, fast paced story of two sisters trapped between equally flawed parents, both ill-equipped to put their daughters' needs above their own... Katya Apekina delivered debut writing at its best: fresh, gritty, compelling and thoroughly original." --Novel Visits, "Sharp... Apekina adroitly employs the perspectives of a wide range of characters to expose complicated dynamics that propel this novel with a keen sense of urgency." --The National Book Review, "Apekina's inventiveness with structure and sentence marks the book's every page, and the result is a propulsive and electrifying look at how family--and art--can both break people and put them back together again. A dark and unforgettable first book." -- Kirkus Reviews , starred review, "With The Deeper the Water the Uglier the Fish , Apekina establishes herself as a formidable voice in fiction -- a writer to keep on your radar." -- BuzzFeed News 'These Are The Best Books Of Fall 2018'
