À propos de la deuxième de couverture

"'Fish worship, is it wrong?' Clearly it is not in this marvelous book that assembles the largest collection by far of the art of Ray Troll. The wide and wildly creative landscape of Troll's talent is in full view here." John G. Lundberg, The Academy of Natural Sciences, Philadelphia

"I love this book. Ray Troll's art reflects a seductive merging of marine biologist, circuit-riding preacher, anarcho-syndicalist, and fish processor. Ray is a man who not only is in touch with his unconscious, he has also made friends with it and appears to periodically take it out for a burger, chocolate malt, and large fries." Milton Love, Marine Science Institute, University of California, Santa Barbara

"A wonderful book . Rapture of the Deep sneaks a wealth of wisdom about art, nature, and the human condition into a package that will delight people from every walk of life." Kesler Woodward, artist and Professor of Art Emeritus at the University of Alaska, Fairbanks
