The Longest Silence av Thomas McGuane

Thomas McGuane""s obsession with fish has taken him from the river in his backyard to the holiest waters of the fly-fisher""s world. As he travels the fish take him to many and various subjects ripe for random speculation: rods and reels, the classification of anglers according to the flies they prefer, family and memory - right down to why fishermen lie. The Longest Silence sets the heart pounding for a glimpse of moving water, and demonstrates what a life dedicated to sport reveals about life.
