A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

These ten related stories give us the most plausible picture I've seen of the life and prospects of Chesapeake Bay watermen in this time of radical social change. In beautifully spare prose, Hall describes episodes that are funny in places, sad in other places and generally empathetic. John Goodspeed, The Star Democrat, Easton, MD "Hall's portrayal glows like a water color" Ramon de Rosas, Maine in Print "The book really made me miss departed story-tellers like Watt Herbert, who had a similar ability to spin a great yarn which passed on a lesson without excessive moralizing." Lynn Norris, Westmoreland News, Montross, VA

Biographie de l'auteur :

J. H. Hall's family has lived on the Chesapeake Bay and fished its waters since the end of the Civil War, and continues to do so. Hall's fiction and non-fiction have appeared in many literary and outdoor magazines, three anthologies, and three collections of his own, including Selling Fish, which chronicles Hall's life as a fisherman, on the Chesapeake, and many other places.
