Reviews
Fishbowl is a marvelous portrayal of the tentative - and often funny - ways human beings muddle about trying to connect with one another., "An irrepressible novel-breezy, funny, sexy, and bursting with life. Bradley Somer has enormous affection and empathy for his cast of all-too-human characters (including the goldfish named Ian)." -Tom Perrotta"Take the tumble with Ian.

The quaint lesson. . . is that people should take flight from the narrow confines of their fears and find adventure in the wider world of others., Readers may be reminded of novels like Armistead Maupin's Tales Of The City . . . or anthology films like 1995's Four Rooms , where shenanigans in a hotel are separated by walls, but still interact., Fishbowl boasts an abundance of mordant whimsy fused to a bodhisattva's sensibility, as if the late Kurt Vonnegut Jr. had mysteriously found himself reincarnated as the fifteenth Dalai Lama and then continued to write epigrammatic novels., Take the tumble with Ian.

Synopsis
A goldfish named Ian is falling from the 27th-floor balcony on which his fishbowl sits. 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. There'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. Sometimes 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." In the tradition of Garth Stein's The Art of Racing in the Rain and Armistead Maupin's Tales of the City , Bradley Somer's Fishbowl is at turns funny and heartbreaking., A goldfish named Ian is falling from the 27th-floor balcony on which his fishbowl sits.
