Ian Frazier is the author of Great Plains, On the Rez, Family, as well as Coyote v. Acme and Dating Your Mom. A frequent contributor to The New Yorker, he lives in Montclair, New Jersey.
This bestselling and distinguished author presents many of his angling essays in one volume. Across America, Frazier explores his lifelong passion for fishing, fish, and the aquatic world. His paeans to the angling experience set the standard in this subgenre, yet will amuse many who've never set foot in a tackle shop.
Extraordinary...one thinks of such American originals as John McPhee, Wallace Stegner, Edward Hoagland, Peter Matthiessen, and Evan S. Connell.
