A gigantic one-eyed trout. A prodigy of the species. A fish to make all other trout seem mere mirmows. William Humphrey, the distinguished author of that angling classic which explores the life and mores of the dedicated angler, The Spawning Run, spotted such a fish in a small mountain creek, and determined he must catch it. 'I had not lost a leg to him,' he says, 'but he had certainly taken a big bite of
my brain.' The result is an absorbing and perceptive account of the season-long pursuit as only a gifted novelist could tell it.
My Moby
Dick is a graphic and meditative look at the passionate angler caught helpless - or nearly so - in his quarry's thrall. With marvellous wit, a sharp eye for detail and exquisite parody, and an unfailing sense of the ridiculous, Humphrey has written a remarkable, memorable little book. It is for anyone who fishes or knows someone who fishes, or does not fish but enjoys being held by the spell of a superb story-teller.
