Book
Opening days : a fly fisherman writes / Richard Chiappone.
An eclectic collection of essays, short stories, and poems, where the author elongates the fishing-writing genre like a perfect backcast, suggesting that he finds almost anything a fisherman does interesting -- anything but the actual fishing. The essays, both funny and touching, reveal him as a writer of start contradictions : a man who despises winter and loves living in Alaska, who thinks that the Clean Water Act ruined as much as it fixed. At the heart of these writings is one fisherman's curiosity about how others might think and feel, and the real quarry he is casting about for is always empathy.
