{"product_id":"fly-fishing-9781478019367","title":"Fly-Fishing","description":"In \u003ci\u003eFly-Fishing\u003c\/i\u003e, Christopher Schaberg ponders his lifetime pursuit of the widely mythologized art of fly-fishing. From the Michigan lakeshore where he learned to fish to casting flies in a New Orleans bayou, Schaberg sketches landscapes and fish habitats and shows how fly-fishing allows him to think about coexisting with other species. It offers Schaberg a much-needed source of humility, social isolation, connection with nature, and a reminder of environmental degradation. Rather than centering fishing on trophies, conquest, and travel, he advocates for a \"small-fishing\" that values catching the diminutive fish near one's home. Introspective and personal, \u003ci\u003eFly-Fishing\u003c\/i\u003e demonstrates how Schaberg's obsession indelibly shapes how he understands and lives in the wider world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChristopher Schaberg is Dorothy Harrell Brown Distinguished Professor of English at Loyola University New Orleans.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Duke University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50717410099474,"sku":"9781478019367","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_326cd0df-a42c-4aa2-9162-3c655d317ac2.jpg?v=1734616859","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/fly-fishing-9781478019367","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
