{"product_id":"book-j937","title":"River Songs","description":"\u003ci\u003eRiver Songs\u003c\/i\u003e is rich with bracing, authentic, generous stories—writing that revels in language and spirit. Avoiding most of fly fishing's clichés—the romantic elegies, the Moby-Dick-like conquests, the play-by-play detailing a \"victory\" over a fish—Steve Duda instead offers pieces that breathe lived experience, reveal vulnerabilities, and convey a broad perspective of what it means to have \"a long run with a tight crew.\" Duda is interested in what has been learned out there on the river: what is it about this \"ridiculous activity\" that connects us to this planet, makes us human, gives us hope?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eRiver Songs\u003c\/i\u003e focuses on the in-between moments and the unexpected revelations—awe, fear, frustration, doubt, joy—that are as much a part of fishing as tying knots and chucking flies. Listeners ride along with Duda in battered pickup trucks, fish \"between jobs,\" look longingly at unfished famous rivers while touring with a country-punk band, and wonder how a fishing trip led to getting a tooth pulled while being surrounded by trash-talking friends. They will find beauty, discovery, heartbreak, good dogs, and the wonder of nature within the expanse of Northwest landscapes and beyond.
