Catching Fishes All Around Dub is the second short story collection from Dare Segun Falowo.
These eighteen stories feature epic quests, terrifying monsters, magical worlds, and underlying it all, a thematic tug of war between those in search of supernatural power, and those who fall victim to it.
Falowo’s poetically precise language and spine-tingling plot twists are reminiscent of both Poe and Kafka as they tackle themes of belonging, abusive maternal relationships, and tragic love in an unforgettable literary adventure.
The media about “Caged Ocean Dub”(2023)
“Falowo’s transporting debut collection combines the fantastical, the spiritual, and the everyday to vivid effect.” Publishers Weekly
The structure of that sentence hints that Falowo knows his Gabriel García Márquez, as does the magic-realist “Busola Orange Juice,” in which an abused woman returns from the dead to sell an eerily refreshing beverage.” – The Washington Post, June 1, 2023
