"The story of what it means to be a man in our culture is an important, vital narrative and it has found one of its best chroniclers in Sterling Watson. This is a powerful, beautifully written book about attitudes and practices that we want to believe are safely in the past. Instead, as Watson reminds us, corruption and cruelty survive through their uncanny ability to take on new shapes."--Laura Lippman, author of I'd Know You Anywhere"Sterling Watson's Fighting in the Shade is an unflinching novel about loyalty and manhood. Like Pat Conroy's The Lords of Discipline, it is simply unforgettable."--Ann Hood, author of The Red Thread"Sterling Watson's polished prose carries this coming-of-age story smoothly from the enthralling to the unsettling, from the poignant to the disturbing, leaving the reader in emotional knots. An uncompromising look at sports, secrets, sexuality, and the South that makes a commentary on relationships ranging from personal to universal."--Michael Koryta, author of The Cypress House

"Nobody does what Mr. Fish does, and even if they did, they wouldn't do it as well as Mr. Fish does. Go Fish is that rarest of creatures: an essential collection of political cartoons."--David Reese, author of Get Your War On"Mr. Fish is one of the few brilliant souls who describes and illustrates the earth's insanity and all of the hypocrisy and still somehow doesn't detract from my need to masturbate constantly."--Richard Lewis, Comedian/Actor"Mr Fish's penis obsession has evolved into unique visual metaphorical truths that probe the very core of politics, culture, religion-pick a target, any target-yes, he has indeed learned to think outside the cocks."--Paul Krassner, author of Confessions of a Raving, Unconfined Nut: Misadventures in the Counter-culture"Behold the cartoons in Go Fish: there is no more savage yet brilliant wit then that possessed by Mr. Fish, who will never compromise on his deep artistic insight or the outrageous honesty of his social commentary. In a sellout culture he is that rare witness for unfettered truth."--Robert Scheer, author of The Great American Stickup
