David James Duncan's sweeping novel is a coming-of-age comedy about love, nature, and the quest for self-discovery, written in a voice as distinct and powerful as any in American letters.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGus Orviston is a young fly fisherman who leaves behind his comically schizoid family to find his own path. Taking refuge in a remote cabin, he sets out in pursuit of the Pacific Northwest's elusive steelhead. But what begins as a physical quarry becomes a spiritual one as his quest for self-knowledge batters him with unforeseeable experiences. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eProfoundly reflective about our connection to nature and to one another, THE RIVER WHY is also a comedic rollercoaster. Like Gus, the reader emerges utterly changed, stripped bare by the journey Duncan so expertly navigates.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Little, Brown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48801896366324,"sku":"9780316261227","price":3.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0707\/1491\/7108\/files\/16095273482300.jpg?v=1783026981","url":"https:\/\/batsamore906.com\/products\/the-river-why","provider":"Bats Amore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
