Editorial Reviews
Review
"If a little humor and some eccentric characters are what you're looking for in your time away from the stream, the search is over. In the end, this collection of essays-often irreverent, always light-hearted and leisurely-is perfect for taming the boredom and everyday humdrum that often lies between our own trips into the outdoors."--Fish Alaska Magazine
"Boyle is a wonderful writer. He is very funny and has a fine cold eye for detail. All present here are unforgettable characters, and this is an unforgettable book."-- Field & Stream
From the Back Cover
Robert H. Boyle collects eccentrics the way the characters he brilliantly portrays collect flies or trophies. These profiles, most of which have appeared in Sports Illustrated over the past three decades, are by turns outrageous, hilarious, and ingenious. These are men who live two lives in one: on the surface they are novelists (including two literary giants: Vladimir Nabokov and James Joyce); inventors; scientists; businessmen; entrepreneurs; but what moves them are their passions. (6 1/4 x 9 1/4, 248 pages)
