Sidewalk Dance

“Sidewalk Dance is a life-affirming, raucous romp through a hyper-contemporary vision of New York City. Fish is a foolish, lost, yet eminently lovable picaro on a quest for meaning that Fletcher Michael comically & gracefully shows us is doomed. Because as Fish (possibly?) learns, maybe the truest thing is to shun laurels & aplomb & rectitude and just BE.” —Harold Rogers, author of Tropicália

"Sidewalk Dance follows Fish, a confused young man overly bewitched by the mythology of the New York artist. Determined to become a tortured playwright, Fish doesn’t bother to read or attend plays. Instead, he focuses his efforts on looking the part with booze and drugs, and on resisting the gravitational pull of a committed relationship or a respectable career. At the root of Fish’s delusion is deeply buried trauma that he’s failed to confront. He might make us cringe at times, but we can all relate to Fish’s quixotic search, as he tilts at authenticity amidst the city’s condemned galleries and dive bars.” —Tyler McMahon, author of One Potato

"Rollicking, debaucherous, yet heartfelt, Sidewalk Dance goes all in, a take-no-prisoners bildungsroman that rattles with all the havoc and zeal of being (or at least coming across as) a viable artist in modern New York. Readers shall shimmy.” —Jakob Guanzon, National Book Award longlisted author of Abundance
