About this product
Product Information
"Echoing the canny writing of David Sedaris, Farrer has a knack for wringing hilarity from life's grim moments ... this meditation on the beauty of impermanence charms. " Publishers Weekly Cold Fish Soup is a series of meditations, often humorous, about life and death in a crumbling, forgotten English seaside town, and how people can find sanctuary and curious tales in the most unexpected places. Before teenager Adam Farrer relocated with his family to Withernsea in 1992, he'd never heard of this isolated, faded seaside town in a down-trodden part of Yorkshire, northern England. The move represented just one thing to him: a chance to leave the insecurities of adolescence behind. He could do that anywhere. But he didn't anticipate how much he'd grow to love the quirks of the town, nor care about its eroding cliffs and declining high street. Cold Fish Soup is an affectionate look at a place and its inhabitants--and the ways in which they can shape and influence someone throughout their life. Drawing on his own experience, Adam shares stories from adolescence to adulthood of reinvention, male mental health and suicide, friendship, interdimensional werewolves, burlesque dancing pensioners, and his compulsion toward the sea. In this personal, insightful, and funny account, Adam explores the power of community and what it means to love and be shaped by a place that is running out of time.

Reviews
'Cold Fish Soupis such a wide-ranging and thought-provoking essay collection, covering masculinity, mental health, werewolves and alien sightings, sense of belonging, the difficulties of carving out a creative life in a geographically marginalised place, coastal erosion and burlesque, amongst other things. It drew me in, and kept me hooked, through all diversions and detours in time and narrative, and made me both cry and laugh heartily and fully. It is a love letter to Withernsea and all the people in it, its crumbling cliffs, its strange beauties and its losses, that made me love Withernsea too.', "Witty and introspective ... moving ... elegiac ... vivid evocations of the landscape ... Echoing the canny writing of David Sedaris, Farrer has a knack for wringing hilarity from life's grim moments ... this meditation on the beauty of impermanence charms. " Publishers Weekly "Witty, moving, wry, insightful, and caring." The Bookseller, Annual Preview Category Highlight "Vividly documents the minutiae of small-town life on the margins ... [and] its strange edge-of-the-world allure ... Farrer captures it beautifully." The Bookseller, Editor's Choice

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
