A Man A Fish

About this book

Prosper is a fisherman trying to get by in the face of everyday problems: there's the spectre of the baby his wife desires, the ghost of his dead mistress, his wife's secret admirer, and the overwhelming lure of the village bar. When a slippery eel salesman arrives in town peddling progress to the rural community, Prosper's list of problems only increases. Faced with an invasive new species in his lake, his fortunes decline along with the fish population, and Prosper gets a lesson in gift horses and generosity.A Man A Fish is a part of the 54ology, inspired by events in Burundi.

EDDY
arrives 
and 
stands 
outside 
the 
bar 
with 
his 
suitcase.
SOLANGE
passes 
on 
the 
other 
side 
of 
the 
bar. 
EDIGE
hears 
her 
passing 
and 
goes 
to 
the 
window.
EDIGE
: 
Good 
morning, 
good 
woman.
SOLANGE
ignores 
him 
and 
continues 
on. 
EDIGE
smiles 
as 
though 
she 
has 
responded.
Mn. 
Good 
God.

A 
Good, 
Quiet 
Spot
Just 
outside 
the 
door 
of 
the 
house. 
PROSPER
is 
exiting 
defensively.
SOLANGE
: 
Prosper! 
Prosper, 
wait. 
What 
do 
you 
mean 
it 
feels 
small? 
It’s 
the 
same 
house 
we 
went 
to 
sleep 
in 
last 
night. 
Did 
you 
grow 
while 
you 
slept?
PROSPER
: 
I 
don’t 
know, 
it 
just 
feels 
too 
small 
right 
now. 
I’m 
going 
shing.
SOLANGE
: 
What 
a 
surprise.
PROSPER
: 
Of 
course 
it’s 
not 
a 
surprise, 
Solange. 
I 
don’t 
get 
up 
every 
morning 
just 
to 
get 
away 
from 
you. 
I 
have 
to 
work. 
No 
sh, 
no 
money, 
right?
SOLANGE
: 
Make 
sure 
you 
don’t 
fall 
into 
any 
holes.
PROSPER
: 
What?
SOLANGE
: 
What 
about 
your 
pole?
She 
hands 
it 
to 
him.
