Blackstone Audio 9781478949596 The River Why Audio Book

The classic novel of fly fishing and spirituality republished with a new afterword by the author.

Since its publication in 1983, the river why has become a classic. David james duncans sweeping novel is a coming-of-age comedy about love, nature, and the quest for self-discovery, written in a voice as distinct and powerful as any in american letters.

Gus orviston is a young fly fisherman who leaves behind his comically schizoid family to find his own path. Taking refuge in a remote cabin, he sets out in pursuit of the pacific northwests elusive steelhead. But what begins as a physical quarry becomes a spiritual one as his quest for self-knowledge batters him with unforeseeable experiences.

Profoundly reflective about our connection to nature and to one another, the river why is also a comedic roller coaster. Like gus, the reader emerges utterly changed, stripped bare by the journey duncan so expertly navigates.
