Summary
Details

What is Gonzo Ichthyology?

Is it a personal, non-objective, view of fishes?

Is it idiosyncratic art that is the love child of M. C. Escher and Aubrey Beardsley?

Or is it both of these things - a remarkable melding of art and science?

Frankly, we neither know, nor do we particularly care.

But seriously, and if we can just have a little heart-to-heart here, this book is kind of like a petty bourgeois croissant stuffed to overflowing with Nutella. But, in this instance, we have substituted stuff about fishes for that sweet, sweet elixir. What kinds of stuff? Well, aspects of fish biology, fish ecology, fish behavior, the history of ichthyology, piscine sex, fishy violence...you know...stuff. And, while you are being force fed this stuff, we will manage to, hmmm, not tickle your funny bone exactly, but maybe give it a swift kick where the sun don't shine.
