Fisherman only become bores when they are bragging about their big fish. But this collection of essays shows their other side. When fishermen talk about their losses, they show a much more interesting side, and here a collection of famous or important writers all contribute an essay which in many cases becomes more than an account of a lost fish which has haunted them all their lives; it sheds light on the nature of loss itself, and how the human spirit endures it.
