Anyone read this?

 

DEINDORFER Robert G.

Title: The Incomplete Angler, Fishing Izaak Waltons Favourite Rivers

 

 

It's hilarious. In the mid 70's this guy from the USA (whom is obviously a very talented author/writer and fly fishes a bit) he comes to the UK as he loves Issacs (sic) style of literature and fishes some of Issac Waltons rivers ..... contempating the difference and trying to feel like Issac did - quoting him here and there.

 

He is helped along the by various peoples like Dick Walker, Archie Braddock, Dickie Carr, Ade Scutt........ but it's the observational humour thats great - really picks out the Britishness and our absurdities ...... gently takes the ****.

 

This is top writing!
