Bøger af Jan Zita Grover

"Jan Zita Grover brings to her writing on fly fishing a fresh eye, a lyric prose style and an original and thoughtful take on the world, a combination of talents that makes Northern Waters one of the most engaging books on rivers, woods, and fishing I've read in a good long while."--W.D. Wetherell, author of One River More "Grover came to angling late and seems hell-bent on making up for lost time. But Northern Waters is more than just a fishing memoir. It's the chronicle of a woman profoundly and passionately engaged in the natural world. With intelligence, clarity, and considerable literary skill, Grover reminds us that the world is richer than we supposed, more complex, more fertile, more surprising--and that it's time we rolled up our sleeves and got down to the messy business of being alive."--Jerry Dennis, author of The River Home "Northern Waters is my favorite kind of fishing book: part memoir, part history, and all engaging commentary on what makes fishermen the way we are. It is also a splendid celebration of the north woods and their often imperiled magic."--Paul Schullery, author of Royal Coachman "Many of us have, as Jan Zita Grover writes, submitted ourselves 'to the tutelage of waters.' But few pupils have proved so adept. Grover is a writer of uncommon gifts, as deft and graceful as she is tough-minded."--Ted Leeson, co-author of The Fly Tier's Benchside Reference Jan Zita Grover is a transplanted San Franciscan now happily living in northern Minnesota. She is also the author of North Enough: AIDS and Other Clear-Cuts.
