Description

"Beginning in a small Japanese fishing town, Fagan reels you in from the first page. One Scotsman's culture shock feels like an unpredictable journey for the reader too. Periods of hopelessness and despair are perfectly blended with hilarity and hope, instantly giving off vibes of Post Office by Charles Bukowski. Fagan's delivery is poignant and purposeful, with writing so crisp it's easy to fly through the pages. Truly a book I will never forget." - Aidan Martin, author of Euphoric Recall 

"For years my life had been a string of temporary work in factories and call centres or unemployment. Approaching 30 and disillusioned with life in Glasgow, I sold everything I had and left for a new life in a remote fishing village in Japan. I knew nothing of the language or the strange new land that I would call home for the next seven years. Fish Town is an eye-opening story that paints the reality of living in Japan as an outsider." - John Gerard Fagan

An experimental memoir, written entirely on John's phone, Fish Town is a powerhouse of raw emotions. It reads like a book of poetry or perhaps a long text message. This gifted writer captures the experience of a Scottish man living in Japan - with humor, wit, honesty, and by all means without an ounce of political correctness.
