The manipulative-philanthropist ghost of a chairman's mother; a footless enchantress in Siberia who has mastered the art of lovemaking; Rita of the sexual politics lessons; the witchcraft-practising mother of a village prodigy who plots to ensnare the World's Richest Man; the trade union leader who wrung a promise of jeans and perfumed soap out of the factory bosses - these are but the supporting cast of the dystopian, compelling world that Revolt of the Fish Eaters brings alive. Set in a twilight zone of glass towers, elevators and late-stage capitalism, this is a collection of stories about the business world: recession-struck, and facing threats from rogue forces such as ghosts, lovers and communists.
