Writer and illustrator Daniel Wallace has published stories in various literary magazines. Big Fish is a novel reminiscent of Garrison Keillor and Mark Twain. It is a surprising work, filled with imagination, homespun humor, and hyperbole.

Edward Bloom, an aging salesman, is dying. As his grown son, William, cares for him, the young man tries to focus on what he knows about his father’s life. Story after story surfaces in William’s memory, and he shares mythic visions of a fantastic father who was loved by all - a man who was the best runner, fisherman, businessman, and adventurer in the world. Big Fish tells these tall tales of Edward Bloom’s life. Punctuated with his vast repertory of jokes, they set the stage for Edward’s final, wonderful transformation.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"In a plainspoken style dotted with transcendent passages, Wallace mixes the mundane and the mythical. His chapters have the transformative quality of fable and fairy tale, and the novel's roomy structure allows the mystery and lyricism of the story to coalesce." (Publishers Weekly)

The story holds you from beginning to end, through the silly jokes to the fantastic unrealism. I had hoped it would hold up to the film and it gpes one better - all the way! I hope you enjoy as much as I did.

A real delight!

I rarely enjoy a movie more than it's source material, but this is that rare exception.

Disappointing

stories are the legacy we leave behind after transitioning. this book captures the power of storytelling and the importance of living your life to the fullest. whether you believe the stories are not, at some point you wished you were Edward.

Be purposeful when telling stories

I rarely prefer movie adaptations than books, this might be one of the exceptions.

Not for lovers of the movie

Big Fish is one of my top 10 movies of all time. So when I saw the book was available on audible I decided to give it a try. In all honesty I liked the book and the narrator did a great job but the movie was just so much better. I enjoyed listening to this though and I don’t regret using a credit on it.

One of my favorite movies

I had to hear this for an essay. The story is interesting but not my cup of tea.

The reading was fantastic. The book isn't

I finally read the book after seeing and loving the movie and then the musical version done by a local high school, which was also great.

There is no circus in the book, but there are more mythical beasts and towns. A few scenes are retold several times, which contributes to the understanding of how events become myth.

It is worth listening to the conversation with the author at the end. The circumstances he was writing under dictated how the story was told in short chapters. It was a very lucky accident that turned out brilliantly.

Different from the movie in key events but the same at heart

I’m a fan of mythology and folklore. I can’t say what hasn’t been said already.

Only complaint was it was too short.

I loved the interview afterwards!

Loved the movie. Had to hear the original!

The movie is one my favorites. The book was different but good as well. Highly recommend.

Good book.

Stop me if you've heard this one. A humorous and beautiful story we can't believe but all want to believe in. Had me tearing up, laughing my head off and soaking in life lessons like a sponge. Made me feel like a kid too.
