4.0 out of 5 stars A close second to Hemingway..., October 17, 2000
By 
Yuri Kuzyk (Toronto, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: To Skin a Cat (Paperback)
For those looking for modern commentary on the "sporting life" or a journey into the mind of men who have trouble with modern gender issues then this is a good place to start. McGuane seems to be trying to fill Hemingway's waders (particularly "In Our Time") with this collection; he certainly conveys a similar tone.

If you have a background in hunting and/or fishing then these stories will likely appeal to you. If not, there is still one story worth reading simply because it aptly demonstrates why we need to abandon the myth of the male who expresses no emotions for fear of showing his weakness.

Unfortunately it appears to be out of print but it is worth tracking down.
