The Longest Silence PDF
By:Thomas McGuane
Published on 2014-08-06 by Vintage
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. The quarry--from trout and salmon to striped bass, massive tarpon, and chimerical permit--inhabit these thirty-three essays as surely as the characters of a novel, luring the author back to childhood haunts in Michigan and Rhode Island, and on through the stages of his life in San Francisco, Key West, and Montana; from the river in his backyard to the holiest waters of the American fishery, and to such far-flung locales as Ireland, Argentina, New Zealand, and Russia. As he travels with friends, with his son, alone, or in the literary company of Roderick Haig-Brown or Isaak Walton, the fish take him to such subjects as |unfounded opinions| on rods and reels, the classification of anglers according to the flies they prefer, family, and memory--right down to why fisherman lie. |His essay subjects are the stuff of epics,| Geoffrey Wolff has written, |and his narratives can make you laugh out loud.| Infused with a deep experience of wildlife and the outdoors, dedicated to conservation, reverent and hilarious by turns or at once, The Longest Silence sets the heart pounding for a glimpse of moving water, and demonstrates what a life dedicated to sport reveals about life.
