<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Using fly fishing as a metaphor for the struggle to understand and come to grips with life, here is a unique study of Raines' life, politics, gender; as a son, father, husband and journalist; and his attitudes toward aging and mortality. Its part sporting autobiography, part guidebook to life's middle passage.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Howell Raines has gone fly fishing with presidents of the United States and legends of the sport, as well as relatives, childhood friends, and his two sons. Casting deep into the waters of his tumultuous and momentous life -- his storied career at the New York Times, his painful divorce, his seven-year feud with his father, his memorable friendship with fisherman/philosopher Richard C. Blalock -- Raines offers his now-classic meditation on the disciplined, beautiful, and unessential activity of fly fishing and the challenges and opportunities of middle age. A witty and profound celebration of life's transitions and the serene pleasures of the outdoors, Raines's memories and observations offer wisdom for the younger man, comfort for the older man, and rare insight for women into the often puzzling male psyche. Hear me, my brothers, Raines says. Anything is possible in the life of a man if he lives long enough. Even adulthood.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A sweet narrative of friendship, fathers and sons, aging and of course, fishing."--Washington Post Book World<br><br>"What a wonderful book Howell Raines has wrought... as lovely as a stream."--Pat Conroy<br>
