About the Author:
Howell Raines is a Pulitzer Prize-winning veteran journalist and former executive editor of The New York Times. The author of three previous books, he was born and began his career in Alabama. He now lives with his wife, Krystyna, in Pennsylvania.
From AudioFile:
Following his bestselling FLY FISHING THROUGH THE MIDLIFE CRISIS, Raines muses upon the scandal that got him fired from THE NEW YORK TIMES, as well as politics, statecraft, his psyche, journalism, and angling as restorative and metaphor. Rambling between anecdotes, observations, and apologia, he writes gracefully and conversationally with an authorial voice reminiscent of his rural Alabama roots. Ignoring the Dixie grace notes of the prose, Tom Stechschulte opens in a rapturous tone, as if catching fish has revealed to him the meaning of life. He soon settles into a more appropriate cracker barrel folksiness. Afterwards, he seems consistently to hit the right notes, except for missing some of the author's slyly ironic humor.

Book Description Condition: New. (Hardcover, 2006 ). 2006 1st edition. Pp325. B/w photographs. Cream & grey boards. Very good in dust-wrapper. The second installment of Howell Raines' autobiography which follows his account of surviving his midlife crisis, as recounted in Fly Fishing Through the Midlife Crisis. Raines abandons his position on The New York Times to be confronted by world-weary ennui. He realises - through the expensively Hemingwayesque catharsis of marlin fishing in the South Pacific - that actually he already has everything he wants. He just hadn't noticed. Amusing, self-deprecating introspection with lots of fishing and a professionally assembled structure which develops against the current affairs of the day. Tarpon, marlin, brown trout and others, Christmas Island, Lake Como, North America, Patagonia and elsewhere. . Seller Inventory # 22465
