Reviews

""This is a fresh book. The cry against what modernity has wrought on the human spirit, against what Thoreau observed over a century and a half ago-'The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation'-is obvious to us each time we scroll through social media or turn on the news. But this take from the high desert of the Great Basin in Nevada is new and fierce. It's not often in the world of angling writing that a reader encounters an author that has fun with the words on the page. Brown writes in a slanting way that sometimes goes against the prescribed conventions of contemporary English, but they work. We follow the narrator as one does a wilderness guide. While we might not trust them always, they are the one to follow because they are the one leading. Even with such a somber subject as the spiritual and moral state of the 21st century, Brown betrays his softness in the attention and care he gives to the precious mountain water he fishes to refresh himself. An obvious gratitude for wild places and fish we should all share a little more."" Noah Davis, Outdoor Writer
