He's longed for adventure, so when the opportunity arises, he escapes from his bowl, clears the balcony railing and finds himself airborne. Plummeting toward the street below, Ian witnesses the lives of the Seville on Roxy residents. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThere's the handsome grad student, his girlfriend, and his mistress; the construction worker who feels trapped by a secret; the building's super who feels invisible and alone; the pregnant woman on bed rest who craves a forbidden ice cream sandwich; the shut-in for whom dirty talk, and quiche, are a way of life; and home-schooled Herman, a boy who thinks he can travel through time. Though they share time and space, they have something even more important in common: each faces a decision that will affect the course of their lives. Within the walls of the Seville are stories of love, new life, and death, of facing the ugly truth of who one has been and the beautiful truth of who one can become. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSometimes taking a risk is the only way to move forward with our lives. As Ian the goldfish knows, \"An entire life devoted to a fishbowl will make one die an old fish with not one adventure had.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBradley Somer's Alberta Literary Award winning\u003ci\u003e Fishbowl\u003c\/i\u003e is at turns funny and heartbreaking.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bradley Somer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1250105889\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781250105882\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e St. Martins Press-3PL\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.10h x 5.40w x 0.90d","brand":"Bradley Somer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44070138806527,"sku":"9781250105882","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_11f25156-d923-4f7d-9009-0c89f5ddf93b.jpg?v=1685428585","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/fishbowl-bradley-somer-9781250105882","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
