Streams of Consciousness: Hip-deep Dispatches from the River of Life - Tapa dura

"This book is written with heart, intelligence and style. Hull understands that the things that make fishing and life meaningful are small enough to be easily missed and that they rarely fit into the straightjacket of a cliche."-- John Gierach author of"Still Life with Brook Trout""With startling honesty and vigorous prose, Jeff Hull takes us into the deep, often dangerous waters of the world and of the human spirit. There's nothing like fishing to make a person think about life and death, and the flashing, reel-screaming urge to live." --- Kathleen Dean Moore, author of "Riverwalking: Reflections on Moving Water"" ""A book that will burrow into the hearts of anglers and nonanglers alike."--"Publishers Weekly"" "It is with due caution that I compare Jeff's writing in "Streams of Consciousness" with the classic "A River Runs Through It." I don't want to make Jeff uncomfortable by comparing him to the great Norman Maclean, but I can't help it. I finished both books with that same feeling: "Wow." Now that I know Jeff a little better than I did before, I wish I could shake his hand and tell him what a terrific job he did with "Streams of Consciousness." It is a thought provoking, yet terrifically enjoyable book. I recommend it highly.--www.globalflyfisher.com

This work is a mesmerizing collection of dispatches about fishing and more fishing. From the trout streams of Montana to the creeks of Patagonia, this collection is unsurpassed. "Streams of Consciousness" follows the author as he travels around the world and his own mind, sharing with us the colourful characters he meets, and wonderful fishing stories, as well as some searing and inspired insights into the human heart. This is sincere literature at its very best, reminiscent of Hemingway, and a must-read for all fans, not only of fishing, but of contemporary writing.
