Norman Maclean. A River Runs Through It
general fiction

It’s hard to imagine more beauty and depth making its way into a mere 104-page novella.  This is a story about the natural world of Montana, fly fishing, the mysteries of family life, and “loving completely those we don’t completely understand.”  It is also a story in which the landscape of western Montana, specifically the Big Blackfoot River, occupies a central role. 

Norman Maclean grew up in western Montana, and in his writing you can hear the voice of someone deeply in love with this extraordinary land and at the same time haunted by some of his memories inexorably tied to the place.      ~ C. Bryan
