All twenty-two pieces in this collection swirl and eddy around his early-forged bond with the rivers of the Pacific Northwest and their endangered native salmon. With a bracing blend of story, science, and comedy, Duncan relates mystical, life-changing adventures; draws incisive portraits of the humans and wild creatures who shaped his destiny; rips the corporate greed and political folly that have brought whole ecosystems to ruin; and meditates on the spiritual and practical necessity of acknowledging our dependence on water in its primal state.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFront Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is the Desert Solitaire\" of water.\"--Jim Harrison \u003cbr\u003e\"Original, skillful, and funny as hell.\"--Ian Frazier \u003cbr\u003e\"\"My Story as told by Water \"is the real McCoy, vivid and important, full of urgent news about living on earth.\"--Thomas McGuane\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is the Desert Solitaire of water.\"--Jim Harrison\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Original, skillful, and funny as hell.\"--Ian Frazier\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"\"My Story as told by Water \"is the real McCoy, vivid and important, full of urgent news about living on earth.\"--Thomas McGuane\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDavid James Duncan\u003c\/b\u003e is the recipient of a Lannan Literary Fellowship and is a National Book Award finalist for \u003ci\u003eMy Story as Told by Water\u003c\/i\u003e.
