FISHTAILS is a collection of essays that chronicle one woman?s hilarious - and often poignant - journey through a very modern midlife. Pushed into singlehood right before her 50th birthday, she begins Internet dating on a site called Plenty of Fish - which is appropriately named since her ?pond? is a Northern California city that boasts more men than women. Holly Golightly from Breakfast at Tiffany?s is her single life role model, and her fishing buddies include a platonic male roommate and a band of female friends who call themselves ?The Tail Club? and assign points for every cocktail you don?t have to pay for.Using the metaphor of fishing (for men, for a soul mate, and for a better second half of a life,) FISHTAILS tackles sociological issues like the myth of monogamy and ?cougardom? with humorous veracity. As our ?Holly? encounters many fish; like one who nearly bites off her lower lip, another she thinks will someday kill her, and a polyamorous paramour who invites her to live on his ranch with his wife and two girlfriends, we learn that dating at mid-life has more drama than dating in high school.
