A new collection from the Don Quixote of fly fishing. The stories in this maverick collection are set in the Myriad Isles and Malaysia, on high Sierra streams, urban streets, jungle rivers, golf course ponds, and a koi pool in Golden State Park. What fly fishing provides at each site is perspective for those who are passionate observers of the world and tireless explorers of the human spirit. Tilting at endless processions of windmills, Seth Norman is the Don Quixote of fly fishing, and his unforgettable meanderings are filled with pathos, laughter, dreams, and wisdom.
About the Author: Seth Norman's first book, Meanderings of a Fly Fisherman, was one of Sports Afield's "Best Sporting Books of 1996." His investigative journalism was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize. He lives in Oakland, California.

Hard cover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First edition. In Very Good+ condition with Very Good+ Dustjacket. A collection from the Don Quixote of fly fishing. The stories in this maverick collection are set in the Myriad Isles and Malaysia, on high Sierra streams, urban streets, jungle rivers, golf-course ponds, and a koi pool in Golden State Park. What fly fishing provides at each site is perspective for those who are passionate observers of the world and tireless explorers of the human spirit. Tilting at an endless procession of windmills, Seth Norman is the Don Quixote of fly fishing, and his unforgettable meanderings are filled with pathos, laughter, dreams, and wisdom. The stories range from how to catch ikan klee - a savage fish of mythic proportions - to a tale suggesting that Icarus was the human equivalent of a poorly tied fly. One story looks at the most graceful piece of tackle - a broken fly rod - to illustrate shame and redemption; another recounts the epiphany of a girl who is raised and raped by a motorcycle gang, yet remains unbroken. "The Humpy King Meets the Halibut God" describes an expedition to a never-fished area of Alaska, where the author confronts fly fishers' snobbery about fish species, and includes the legend of a fish that might better be hunted with dogs than fished for with a fly rod. The twenty-five stories in this unforgettable book will make you cry, laugh, and think. They are among the very best essays and tales being written today about fly fishing.
