33 passionate essays about McGuane's devotion to angling. Illuminating, thought-provoking, covers fishing all over the world, traveling with friends or family, from trout to salmon, from massive tarpon to chimerical permit. 6x9 inches, 320 page Softcover.

With ten books over a thirty-year span, Thomas McGuane has proven himself over and over again "a virtuoso . . . a writer of the first magnitude," as Jonathan Yardley wrote in the New York Times Book Review. "His sheer writing skill is nothing short of amazing." But he has devoted a couple decades more to another sustaining passion: the pursuit of most every sporting fish known to the angler's hopes and dreams.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR Thomas McGuane lives in McLeod, Montana. In addition to his fiction, he is the author of An Outside Chance, a collection that included some of these essays.

McGuane's novels The Sporting Club, The Bushwhacked Piano, Ninety-two in the Shade, Panama, Nobody's Angel, Something to Be Desired, Keep the Change, and Nothing but Blue Skies, and his collection of stories, To Skin a Cat, are available in Vintage paperback.
