About this title

Review:

"Extraordinary...Reading [Ian Frazier] one thinks of such American originals as John McPhee, Wallace Stegner, Edward Hoagland, Peter Matthiessen, and Evan S. Connell." --The Washington Post Book World

"Trust Ian Frazier to break new ground in the literature about fishing...his humor and imagination infuse the seventeen essays...with the manic enthusiasm few anglers can ever explain." --The New York Times Book Review

"[Frazier] is a keen observer and a genuine lover of nature. On every page is a description that brings the air, sky, water, rocks, flies, and fish stunningly, startlingly to life." --The Boston Globe

"The Fish's Eye deserves a place in every tackle box on every creek bank in America....A prodigious but casual genius... Frazier's also a whale of a reporter." --San Francisco Examiner

"Deliciously bent outdoor essays, most of which involve a fly rod." --Men's Journal

"It's hard to imagine a more heartfelt book, or one more lovingly rendered." --Booklist (starred review)

"[Frazier's] such an incredible writer that even readers who don't care much about fishing will find in The Fish's Eye a welcoming spot to sit and cast about pondering the depths of life." --Los Angeles Times

"Witty, insightful...This gem belongs in waterproof pockets and urban backpacks." --New York Post

"A great read...[He] is a kindred spirit whose writing has the warmth and humbleness of an old friend." --Big Sky Journal
