Lars Horn17s Voice of the Fish, the latest Graywolf Press
Nonfiction Prize winner, is an interwoven essay collection that
explores the trans experience through themes of water, fish,
and mythology, set against the backdrop of travels in Russia
and a debilitating back injury that left Horn temporarily unable
to speak. In Horn17s adept hands, the collection takes shape
as a unified book: short vignettes about fish, reliquaries, and
antiquities serve as interludes between longer essays, knitting
together a sinuous, wave-like form that flows across the
book.Horn swims through a range of subjects, roving across
marine history, theology, questions of the body and gender,
sexuality, transmasculinity, and illness. From Horn17s
upbringing with a mother who used them as a model in photos
and art installations13memorably in a photography session in
an ice bath with dead squid13to Horn17s travels before they

were out as trans, these essays are linked by a desire to
interrogate liminal physicalities. Horn reexamines the oftpresumed
uniformity of bodily experience, breaking down the
implied singularity of 20the body21 as cultural and scientific
object. The essays instead privilege ways of seeing and being
that resist binaries, ways that falter, fracture, mutate. A sui
generis work of nonfiction, Voice of the Fish blends the
aquatic, mystical, and physical to reach a place beyond them
all.
