Witty, shrewd, and always a joy to read, John Gierach, ?America?s best fishing writer? (Houston Chronicle) and favorite streamside philosopher, has earned the following of ?legions of readers who may not even fish but are drawn to his musings on community, culture, the natural world, and the seasons of life? (Kirkus Reviews).?After five decades, twenty books, and countless columns, [John Gierach] is still a master? (Forbes). Now, in his latest original collection, Gierach shows us why flyfishing is the perfect antidote to everything that is wrong with the world.?Gierach?s deceptively laconic prose masks an accomplished storyteller?His alert and slightly offkilter observations place him in the general neighborhood of Mark Twain and James Thurber? (Publishers Weekly). In Dumb Luck and the Kindness of Strangers, Gierach looks back to the longago day when he bought his first resident fishing license in Colorado, where the fishing season never ends, and just knew he was in the right place. And he succinctly sums up part of the appeal of his sport when he writes that it is ?an acquired taste that reintroduces the chaos of uncertainty back into our wellregulated lives.?Lifelong fisherman though he is, Gierach can write with selfdeprecating humor about his own fishing misadventures, confessing that despite all his experience, he is still capable of blowing a strike by a fish ?in the usual amateur way.? ?Arguably the best fishing writer working? (The Wall Street Journal), Gierach offers witty, trenchant observations not just about flyfishing itself but also about how one?s love of flyfishing shapes the world that we choose to make for ourselves.
