Annotation |
The best-selling author pays tribute to the proud, independent commercial fishermen of Long Island's South Fork where Matthiessen, once a fisherman, still lives. He interweaves a series of anecdotes, reminiscences, and salty tales into a vivid and poignant portrait of a tenacious breed of people. Some strong language.
