The Swallowed Man by Edward Carey

4.0

Edward Carey has the most delightful writing style! The Swallowed Man is a story about Gepetto, Pinocchio’s father. He’s living inside of a large fish - for most of the book and you’re reading his journal entries talking about living in the fish and also some reflections on life pre-fish. A wonderful take on loneliness and at times madness. Also in true Edward Carey fashion there are beautiful illustrations sprinkled throughout.
