Evocative of Charles Bukowski in its mix of rough-edged bravado and deep tenderness Fisher of Men conveys the beauty and pain of a life lived in defiance of societal expectations rooted in an unconventional faith. Alternately raucously funny heartbreaking luminous and deadly serious Koetting's novel wrestles with the deep questions of faith: how it informs the way we live the way we relate to others and the way we die.
