Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
New York Times editorial page director Raines combines memoir and angling odyssey.
Copyright 1994 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
From Library Journal
A native Southerner, New York Times editor, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, and lifelong angler, Raines came to fly fishing in his forties. Like Hemingway and Norman Maclean, he uses it as an extended metaphor for coming to terms with aging. He progresses from the "Redneck Way of Fishing" for quantity and meat to "Dick Blalock's Way." Blalock, his friend and mentor, taught him that fly fishing is about attitude and friendship, not about catching fish. As Raines traces his progress, he sketches many giants in the still-young history of American fly fishing, endorses the catch-and-release philosophy, and comes to accept death's place in life. This is a literate, contemplative celebration of life and friendship by one who has learned to enjoy both. Recommended for biography as well as sports collections in public and academic libraries.
