About this title

Review:

"A seamless union of life, love, and fly fishing."--Steve Bodio

From the Back Cover:

Crooked cops, feral pit bulls, a baby-herding border collie, fine friends, and mending hearts - they all relate to fly fishing in Seth Norman's groundbreaking collection. Brimming with pathos and laughter, Meanderings includes odes to "Women Who Fish and the Men Who Love Them" and a schizophrenic mother's love for her children that becomes manifest in the black and gold jewel of a caddis-fly case. "Jell-O is too a main dish," the author advises inner tubers towed away by striped bass; elsewhere he likens pike to gangsters.Author Seth Norman calls these stories meanderings. But there is method in his study of madness, and technique in his drift through bright riffles and deep currents. He is obsessed with waters and fish; people angle through every adventure, offering unexpected insights. A bitter woman finds heart in a boy's hope and devotion; and a late-night encounter reveals that to land a sturgeon with a 9mm pistol, you really ought to bring three clips. (6 x 9, 204 pages)
