An experimental memoir written entirely on John's phone, Fish Town is a powerhouse of raw emotions. It reads like a book of poetry or a long text message. In the tone of Bukowski's Post Office, the book captures the experiences of a Scottish man in Japan with humor, wit, honesty, and by all means without an ounce of political correctness.  

"The book begins with such a profound sense of fuck this. John’s need to get out and do something else and see something else of the world is absolutely palpable." — Scot Lit Daily (read the full review here)

​

"Instantly giving off vibes of Post Office by Charles Bukowski. Fagan’s delivery is poignant and purposeful, with writing so crisp it’s easy to fly through the pages. Truly a book I will never forget." — Aidan Martin, Euphoric Recall 

​

"Through a series of free-verse snippets, Fagan takes us through his next six years — a time of loneliness, drunkenness, and screwed-upness, leavened by connections with students, other teachers, and (later) a Japanese actress and her cat. There aren’t many books I could not put down — this is one of them". — Thaddeus Rutkowski, Tricks of Light
