Goulds Buch Der Fische by Richard Flanagan
A darkly inventive historical novel that follows a condemned convict and painter in early 19th-century Tasmania as he survives brutal penal life by creating a scandalous compendium of fish; the narrative mixes fact and fantasy, unreliable memory, sketches and tall tales to explore art, colonial violence, obsession and the blurred line between truth and invention.
