In Fly-Fishing, Christopher Schaberg ponders his lifetime pursuit of the widely mythologized art of fly-fishing. From the Michigan lakeshore where he learned to fish to casting flies in a New Orleans bayou, Schaberg sketches landscapes and fish habitats and shows how fly-fishing allows him to think about coexisting with other species. It offers Schaberg a much-needed source of humility, social isolation, connection with nature, and a reminder of environmental degradation. Rather than centering fishing on trophies, conquest, and travel, he advocates for a small-fishing that values catching the diminutive fish near ones home. Introspective and personal, Fly-Fishing demonstrates how Schabergs obsession indelibly shapes how he understands and lives in the wider world.Christopher Schaberg is Dorothy Harrell Brown Distinguished Professor of English at Loyola University New Orleans.Book specifications:Collection: PracticesDimensions: 178 x 127Author: Christopher SchabergCover type: PaperbackPublishing Year: 2023Publishing Month: 3Pages: 112Language: EnglishPublisher: Duke University PressWeight: 104 g
