The story comes from Cocoan's stream-of-conscious daily log recordings. His wife, Whyrie, is about to embark on a journey with a group of her fellow scientists...they will travel back in time in search of Jesus Christ. Forced to accompany them, Cocoan sets out to face the unknown. Will they find Jesus and discover the answers they are looking for? Will they make it back alive? And why is Whyrie always frowning at him?All these answers and oh so much more are revealed in Mellick's Fishy-fleshed. As always, CM3 delivers a fun, unique read. This work obviously has a major religious theme, but it has been "Mellickized." While some might be bothered by the stream-of-conscious stylized writing, I feel that it only helped with character development. I also think this work has some really clever moments (don't want to give anything away), that are not only funny but intelligent.I can't imagine not recommending one of CM3's books. I hope to write with a similar vivid imagination some day. My hats off to another Mellick classic. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars fishy flesh, even fishier words. and i love fish *by J***L on Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2011* This is easily Mellick's most poetic novel. In the introduction he say that he wrote it in three long days and that he was trying to mimic the train of thought of some with ADD. But the prose don't feel rushed or scrambled at all. It's more stylized than his later stuff and at times his choice of words is a bizarre but it always works. I hope he writes more books in this style in the future. Kerouac and Burrough wished they could write with spontaneity and at the same time the clarity this book has. Though I'm sure they might not have been into the subject matter.The story takes place in a futuristic world where everyone walks on water. I didn't like this idea much. I had trouble visualizing it. My favorite chapters take place either in doors or the past.That's right, it's a time travel book. And one of the best I have read. In it, the narrator and a bunch of scientist go to the past to find Jesus Christ. It gets really weird. And even spooky at times.The book is at times critical on religion but not cynical. I found the book to actually be very spiritually charged. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Great once it gets going *by J***. on Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2011* Time travel for the surreal new age!Fishyfleshed gets better each time I read it, which is actually often enough to the point where I wrote about it as a recommendation to my English teacher for a paper. How many books did you read in school that included a complete translation of it in a "lost" language? None like this, I can assure you.Mellick's writing, while highly creative and almost always entertaining, is not perfect. My one issue here is the very beginning of the book. After reading it countless times I still can't figure out why this is, though. It's pretty necessary to the plot to indicate why a bunch of scientists and one retard are in the past looking for Jesus, but it's always something I want to skip. Get right to the good stuff with squid people and Cyborg Jesus.I wouldn't recommend this as someone's first Mellick book, or even bizarro in general, but for those seasoned veterans, you'll probably get a kick out of it. I know I continuously do. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sk/products/12566871-fishy-fleshed-paperback-june-29-2012](https://www.desertcart.sk/products/12566871-fishy-fleshed-paperback-june-29-2012) --- *Product available on Desertcart Slovakia* *Store origin: SK* *Last updated: 2026-05-19*
