Ryba jménem Ian
Co viděla zlatá rybka, když vyskočila z 27. patra... Někdy riskovat znamená jediný způsob, jak posunout svůj život dál.
Zlatá rybka jménem Ian bydlí ve svém akváriu na balkoně v 27. patře. Na rozdíl od jiných rybiček, které jsou se svým skleněným obydlím spokojené, touží Ian po dobrodružství. A jen co se naskytne příležitost, přeskočí balkonové zábradlí a letí. Padá dolů na ulici. Cestou míjí okna domu a nahlíží do života jeho obyvatel.
„Když strávíte celý život v akváriu, zemřete jako stará ryba bez zážitků."
Je tu pohledný postgraduální student, jeho přítelkyně, ale také jeho milenka. Stavební dělník chycený v pasti svého tajemství. Těhotná žena na lůžku, toužící po zmrzlině. Malý kluk Herman, jenž věří, že umí cestovat v čase. Každý z nich má před sebou rozhodnutí, které mu může změnit život. Dokonce i zlatá rybka Ian totiž ví, že kdo stráví celý život v akváriu, umře jako stará ryba, co nezažila jediné dobrodružství.
Ve zdech lidského akvária se skrývají příběhy lásky, nového života i smrti. A my všichni musíme čelit ošklivé pravdě o tom, čím jsme se nikdy nestali, a krásné pravdě o tom, čím se můžeme stát.

Even a goldfish can dream of adventure...From his enviable view from a balcony on the 27th floor of an apartment block, Ian the Goldfish has frequent - if fleeting - desires for a more exciting life. Until one day, a series of unfortunate events gives him an opportunity to escape...Our story begins, however, with the human inhabitants of Ian's building. There is the handsome student, his girlfriend, and his mistress; an agoraphobic sex worker, the invisible caretaker; the pregnant woman on bed rest; and the home-schooled boy, Herman, who thinks he can travel through time. And as Ian tumbles perilously downwards, he will witness all their lives, loves, triumphs and disasters...A truly original, philosophically joyful and charming novel with the unlikeliest of heroes. This is Tales of the City as seen by a goldfish.
