Download A Jerk on One End: Reflections of a Mediocre Fisherman AudioBook Free
"In some ways it's a ridiculous human passion," Robert Hughes writes of fishing but, for him, it has been a lifelong obsession and the pastime that he adores best. In A Jerk on One End he brings the wit and insight that contain characterised his art criticism to the subject matter of seafood and fishing. He traces his love of fishing to his boyhood on Sydney Harbour and recounts the high and low items of his career with pole and reel, from his first get to hair-raising stories of shark hunts he has found from other fishermen. Mixing memoir and background with folklore and anecdote, he has produced an audiobook that is a party of the delights and beauties of fishing and, in its last ticks, a powerful and reasoned plea for the coverage of the ecology of the sea.
