A must read!!, September 5, 2006
This review is from: Playing with Fish and Other Lessons from the North (Paperback)
Robert Wolfe's Playing With Fish is a must read! This beautifully written collection of essays is seamlessly tied together through the sensitive, thoughtful, and entertaining voice of the author. Reminiscent of Edward Abbey's works, this book discusses the profound connections and relations between man and nature in an ever-industrializing world, and the significance of culture within it. One of the best books I own! As a cultural anthropologist and a lover of stories, I heartily recommend this book!!

A wonderful read ..............., December 17, 2007
This review is from: Playing with Fish and Other Lessons from the North (Paperback)
I thoroughly enjoyed this book.......... So much that I read it straight through one evening. It was difficult (IMPOSSIBLE) for me to put it down.
Bob Wolfe has a wonderful, easy-to-relate-to writing style that reminds me very much of essays written by E.B. White. Based on his life experiences while living and couducting research in rural Alaska, the book is "down to earth," very much like a conversation with him; familiar, witty, funny and from the heart.
I'll read this one again.
