Blues

by John Hersey

About this title: A disquisition on the art of fishing, from the Nobel Prize-winning novelist and reporter. Written in the form of a dialogue between the "Fisherman" and the "Stranger," who discuss fishing and many unrelated topics in a not-too-carefully organized way, it was originally published in the "New Yorker".

Note: This is a general synopsis. Each listing is described below.

"I'm re-reading this, read it originally probably 10-15 years ago...

...fishing, poetry, biology, recipes...what else is there? A great read, so entertaining and infromative. Loved it AGAIN."
