"You think you become an adult and you get past a lot of things and you join the Navy and see the world and you get out and you become a Hollywood writer and your name’s in the paper and everybody knows you, but you’re still that kid you always were. Some of those issues still linger. They don’t ever go away..."
Praise for Antwone's books!
"Finding Fish reads like a great work of fiction, moving me alternately to tears and laughter, sorrow and joy, and making me forget at times that the story is astonishingly true" - Denzel Washington
"Antwone Fisher has never hesitated to share the valuable lessons he's learned in life, and his latest book presents a collection of great advice from which all young men can benefit. In A Boy Should Know How To Tie a Tie, Fisher examines self worth and identity, and explores what it means to live as a man of grace and purpose. He illustrates that, while self image and personality are created on the inside, the way he presents himself on the outside reflected a man's character. This is an important bit of truth, and I urge young men everywhere to read Fisher's compelling guide to manhood." - President Bill Clinton

Finding Fish: a memoir shows how, out of this unlikely mix of deprivation and hope, an artist was born — first as the child who painted the feelings his words dared not speak, then as a poet and storyteller who would eventually become one of Hollywood's most sought-after screenwriters.
