You're better off to watch, wait, and remain calm … letting it all happen, rather than trying to make it happen.\" As the wry and perceptive essays in \u003ci\u003eAnother Lousy Day in Paradise\u003c\/i\u003e prove, Gierach knows his writing as well as his fishing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eParadise, Gierach shows us, is relative; it can be found in the guilty luxury of fishing private waters or when one is soaked to the skin, in a small canoe on a big lake in a storm a hundred miles from anywhere, exhilarated after a day's fishing. There are also pleasures to be found in unexpected places: solitary fishing trips, fishing for less-appreciated fish like carp, or meeting a guide who at first seems like an inarticulate ax murderer but who proves to be a \"Zen master among fishing guides.\" The point is to let things unfold as they will—because after all, says Gierach, \"Basically, the world is a big, dumb trout, and you're a fisherman with all the time in the world.\" As Gierach fans know, this is a description of paradise.","brand":"Tantor","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49359620407600,"sku":"BDfp2b","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49359620440368,"sku":"ZEfp2b","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio MP3-CD","offer_id":49359620473136,"sku":"ZMfp2b","price":45.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/fp2b-Square-cover.jpg?v=1780102376","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-fp2b","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
