“Fifty years of fishing and friendship gathered into thirteen humorous and endearing short stories. From New Mexico’s Rio Grande Gorge, to Beaver Meadow in Vermont, to Lough Corrib in County Galway, Ireland, writer/screenwriter Denis O’Neill and legendary war photographer, James Nachtwey took their friendship on the road in pursuit of trout. These are stories of friendship for fishermen and non-fishermen alike.”
“An essayist reflects on the state of American politics, culture and society in 2023…”
“A published poet, nevolist, and essayist who has written half a dozen books, O’Neill is a talented writer who blends astute (if often depressing) commentary with a hint of wit and idealistic defiance.”
“In the vein of celebrated English diarist Samuel Pepys, author O’Neill weaves his observations about contemporary politics, daily life and culture into an overview of America that is at once poetic, revealing, depressing and forever searching for people, events and behavior that define who we are.”
