with anthropophagy—which is a
synym for cannibalism.
A ship on its way from Europe
to the United States blows up and

One lifeboat manages to pull away.
Aboard are 11 people. They are

A few days later, the lifeboat
is sighted and rescued. The sur-
vivors are questioned on their sur-
prisingly good physical condition
and the killing and the eating are
confessed. The last part of "How
the Fishes Live" is the trial of
the two survivors accused of the
murder. The story is full of sus-

right to kill? Was it wrong? In
such a case, is there a "right" or
a "wrong?" What would you have
done?
"How the Fishes Live" is Lieb-
er's first novel. He is also the
author of the popular travel guide
"Israel on $5 a Day." He worked
on the writing of "How the Fishes
