New York: William Morrow and Company, 1993. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Tenth printing. A bit of soiling on the boards and page edges, very good in near fine dustwrapper. A memoir by the author of *The Whiskey Man* and former editorial page director of *The New York Times.* Inscribed by the author to fellow Alabamian and African-American author Albert Murray: "For Albert Murray, In the hope that my description of friend fish can make you as hungry as yours made me. Howell Raines. 5/15/95." Murray has written Raines' phone numbers at home and at the *Times.*.

Synopsis

Documenting his progress from the "redneck way of fishing" to the catch-and-release way, the author uses his experiences as a fly fisherman to gently and movingly explore his life, politics, gender, roles, and attitudes toward mortality.
