About this title

Review:

""You'll love "Guiding Elliott"."--William Kittredge "

From the Back Cover:

Guiding Elliott is an epistolary novel set amid the best trout fishing in the West. These are the letters of Donnie Phillips - a Montana fly-fishing guide, a simple man who believes that women have no right to be on the trout stream and that oatmeal has no business being considered food - to a New York City fly-fishing club. With a comic mangling of the English language rivaling Mrs. Malaprop's, Donnie attempts to impart to city folk the wisdom of a "real fly-fishing guide." But he gets carried away with hilarious accounts of small town life, its wacky characters - including his new friend Elliott - fly-fishing rivalries, and barroom brawls. As it turns out, this season is a particularly bad one for Donnie. A barrage of personal trials worthy of Job gradually transforms this stubborn man into one whose generous spirit makes him a hero in the eyes of the woman he loves.Full of raucous humor, great fishing lore, and surprising plot turns, Guiding Elliott blooms into a rich and vibrant evocation of the new West. (5 3/4 x 8 1/2, 196 pages)
