Who I'd like to meet:
The kind people who wrote these blurbs:“Saving Angelfish” resonates with the kind of raw power and fearless, unsparing prose that will remind readers of earlier classics of the genre like “Requiem for a Dream” and “Basketball Diaries. Michele Matheson, God help her, has done the research - and lived to tell the tale. This is a darkly beautiful novel, as seductive and brutal as a smack habit - and just as hard to shake.
Jerry Stahl, author of Permanent Midnight, and I, Fatty“In that land where literary characters live, Maxella, the heroine of Saving Angelfish, shares the same space as Alice, of Alice in Wonderland, and Holden Caufield. But though Max’s neighborhood, like Alice’s and Caufield’s, is also funny and wondrous, her actual street is a far more dangerous and scary place to hang out. In questioning just how much anyone can break free from the past, Matheson’s voice is dead-on, fresh, and completely winning. Michele Matheson is a find.”
Jim Krusoe, author of Iceland“The brutality and purgatorial repetition that is the outer life of a heroin addict conceals a shimmering inner world in Michele Matheson’s debut novel, Saving Angelfish. Luminous language traces a phosphorescent trail through the book’s dark journey.”
Janet Fitch, author of Paint It Black“Gritty, poignant, funny, achingly dark, Saving Angelfish marks the debut of an impressive new literary talent. Michele Matheson has a keen eye, a ravaged ancient soul and a lyrical voice—a powerful combination that has produced a remarkable book.”
John Lescroart, author of The Hunt Club“The end of one’s rope is where my favorite literature begins and Saving Angelfish is a strong contributor to that brave, luminous pile. Authentic desperation reeks from every page of this novel, which makes for an arresting reading experience. Humor and tension is all the right places.”
