The classic book of fly angling and spirituality republished with a new afterword by the writer. Since its publication in 1983, The River Why has turned into a classic. David Adam Duncan's sweeping book is a coming-of-age funny about love, nature, and the quest for self-discovery, written in a tone as distinctive and powerful as any in American words. Gus Orviston is a young journey fisherman who leaves behind his comically schizoid family to find his own course. Taking refuge in a remote cabin, he pieces out in search of the Pacific Northwest's elusive steelhead. But what starts as a physical quarry becomes a spiritual one as his quest for self-knowledge batters him with unforeseeable activities. Profoundly reflective about our connection to nature and to one another, The River Why is also a comedic roller coaster. Like Gus, the listener emerges absolutely improved, stripped bare by the voyage Duncan so expertly navigates.
