Little Rivers: Tales of a Woman Angler
ISBN-13: 9781944402068 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 128 str.
The expanded edition of the ground-breaking memoir Little Rivers: Tales of a Woman Angler remains the premiere literary narrative of a woman in the male-dominated sport of fly fishing. In essays described as "luminous," Little Rivers features the chronicles of Margot Page's evolution from reluctant student to passionate angler to married, angling young mother, to divorced, desk-bound angler. In this eloquent, acclaimed book, Margot Page continues her strong, evocative presence in the canon of fly-fishing literature. She invites us to her home river, Vermont's marble-banked Battenkill, to Cape Cod saltwater fishing for striped bass, to Montana's big waters, to the wild Alaskan landscape, and, most compellingly, to the passages that run through her life and echo our own. The new essays include a rare window into the founding years of the national nonprofit Casting for Recovery, of which she is a founding member. 10% of all proceeds from the sale of the new Little Rivers will be donated to Casting for Recovery which provides free retreats in 41 states across the U.S. helping breast cancer survivors through the therapeutic sport of fly fishing. The author of three nonfiction books, Page is a former contributor to The New York Times and her essays have been anthologized in numerous publications.
