Abstract

The unnamed narrator of Lloyd Jones’s The Fish is introduced to the word “correspondence” by his older sister Carla. Growing up in 1950s and 1960s Wellington, he discovers that “there is a world we wake to each day and there is the one we choose to describe”. After years of such description, he comes to see how “I was reborn by my own writerly efforts, by this act of correspondence”.
