About This Item
William Morrow & Company, 1993. Hard cover. Like New/Fine. Howell Raines is a professional journalist and long-time flyfisher. In this book he recounts his fly fishing adventures, in which he gives a good account of the historical and contemporary social background of the places he fishes and the people he fishes with. Finding some sort of link between this variegated collection of people is the thread running through the whole narrative. Incidental to this, Raines extends the same principle to his family, principally his father and his sons, and in so doing avoids any note of self-indulgence which might have tempted other authors.
Synopsis
Documenting his progress from the "redneck way of fishing" to the catch-and-release way, the author uses his experiences as a fly fisherman to gently and movingly explore his life, politics, gender, roles, and attitudes toward mortality.
