Synopsis

From the revered Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist and writer comes his national bestseller on one of the world’s oldest and most popular activities, fishing. Presented in narrative form as a conversation between a fisherman and the Stranger, Hersey draws upon his own experiences and passion as the fisherman reflects on the age-old sport, offering his own insights and thoughts. From the depths of the ocean to the creatures near the shore, Hersey perfectly answers why fishing has been such an integral part of humanity. “Almost no one has answered 'why fish?' better than Mr. Hersey … what he does best of all is evoke wonder.”—New York Times Book Review 

About John Hersey

John Hersey (1914–1993), a prolific and acclaimed writer of both fiction and nonfiction, won a Pulitzer Prize for A Bell for Adano. Yet throughout his life, he was most respected for Hiroshima. According to the New Yorker, “[It] remains his crowning achievement. Though it is imbued with a profound moral sense, it does not preach. It does not hector. It simply tells. The power of it, and of its author, is in the reporting.”
