Robert Hughes's memoir of the fishing life begins like a lazy day on the water. A few observations on the sport's history, a look at the literature, even some comical reminiscences about trying to harpoon tuna and battle tarpon. But then Hughes returns to the piers of his native Sydney. It is there that the boy who would turn into the preeminent art critic of his generation began educating his eyes: "To fish at all, even on a humble level," he writes, "you must notice things: the movement of the water and its patterns, the rocks, the seaweed.... Time on the pier taught me to concentrate on the visual, for fishing is intensely visual, even--perhaps especially--when nothing is happening. It is easy to look, but learning to see is a more gradual business, and it sneaks up on you unconsciously, by stealth."
Hughes has made seeing his life's pursuit, and despite claims of mediocrity in angling, his grasp of the larger picture is clear. In this slim volume's concluding essay, "Troubled Waters," he decries the ravages of commercial fishing, reasserts our need to respect creatures unlike ourselves, and provides an emphatic reminder that fishing's real joys are in the catching--not the killing. "We have no moral right to preserve only cuddly tourist attractions like the koala," he stresses. "Wildness, otherness, and dread, embodied in living creatures, also have their claims." --Jeff Silverman
Book Description
"In some ways it's a ridiculous human passion," renowned author and art critic Robert Hughes confesses of his lifelong devotion to fishing. But it is a powerful, abiding passion nonetheless, one that Hughes shares with presidents and paupers, philosophers and truants, mystics and macho deep-sea warriors. Author of the acclaimed
The Fatal Shore: The Epic of Australia's Founding,
The Culture of Complaint, and
American Visions: The Epic History of Art in America, Hughes now brings his wit, insight, critical eye, and incomparable genius for narrative to bear on the pastime he loves best.
Hughes acknowledges that if he were to amortize the market value of the fish he catches in a year against the expense of catching them, he'd be shelling out about $55 a pound on bluefish alone. But clearly he's not in it for the money. In
A Jerk on One End, Hughes traces his love of fishing back to his earliest boyhood on Sydney Harbor, Australia, and recounts the high and low points of his career with rod and reel--the first surge of triumph when he snagged a six-pound bonito, the shame of having his father catch him trout-fishing with live bait (the most perfidious failing in the eyes of every fly-fisher), hair-raising shark tales he picked up on the Sydney waterfront.
Here too is a history of fishing going back to classical antiquity, along with meditations on the art and philosophy of fishing and deep draughts of the finest fishing writing through the ages. Hughes gazes long and hard into the shining eyes of his prey and captures the essence of each noble species in brilliant verbal portraits--the delicate striped bass, most amenable to cooking and most susceptible to urban pollutants; the infinitely treacherous tarpon; the fastidious, elusive trout; the giant bluefin tuna, which holds the dubious honor of being the most expensive and sought after animal on earth. And in one unforgettable passage, he adopts the fish's point of view and forces us to imagine the horror of being hooked and reeled into an alien element.
Fishing, Hughes asserts, taught him patience as a boy and reverence for nature as man. In the concluding pages of this splendid book, he draws on this reverence to make a powerfully reasoned plea for the ecology of the sea. Mixing memoir, history, adventure, folklore, and stunning descriptions of the fathomless mysteries of the deep, Robert Hughes has written an absolutely magnificent volume.
A Jerk on One End is a superb piece of prose and a profound meditation on the beauty, the excitement, and the peerless pleasures of fishing--and of life.

Fish don't fail me now.......2007-03-06
Robert Hughes is incapable of being frivolous, even when he is writing what appears at first glance to be a light-hearted memoir about his experiences as a fisherman. There's that, of course, with funny stories about his boyhood in Australia, but the book is much more too. It is a history lesson, as well as a brooding meditation on loss, greed, gluttony and all the other deadly sins whose names escape me. As always, Hughes is good for a laugh too. The book left me wishing I'd been a fisherman as a youth and not just a fish consumer in my middle age. Conversely, given the harrowing account of the abuse the human species has done to the oceans and its species, it made me to simply avoid eating fish for the rest of my life.
A Great Read.......2006-07-09
As always, Robert Hughes delivers wry observations about life, art and, in this case, fishing, with his trademark erudite prose. Always engaging, this book is an enjoyable read, even if you care nothing about fishing.
very appealing.......2002-07-04
Here is a great little book worth reading. Start with a terrific title and follow with a witty, intelligent book in which there are no wasted words and which does not ever seem "interminable" and you've got a great combination. Highly recommended for the fisherman and anyone else in your family.
Very Short, Very Smart, Very Funny................2000-07-01
As an artist, I've found inspiration time and again in Robert Hughes'books and the American Visions series. As a third-generation Floridian growing up on the Hillsborough River, I instinctively came by an appreciation of both the mystique of the water and the way fishing linked me to it. As a mostly-vegetarian who still succumbs to seafood, I feel some sense of guilt and sadness for the realities of the commercial fishing industry. This is a poignant and amusing little book, and a clarion call to those who don't give much thought to where their salmon filet came from. Robert Hughes is an inspired writer; this book demonstrates how his holistic take on cultural history translates into wonderful insights in seemingly disparate fields. This is a book I'll re-read every summer!
I had to laugh.......2000-06-22
I bought this for my 19 year old son who has a passion for fishing. I'll admit it, I just don't understand the allure. I picked it up one night and was caught up in the storytelling. there is a bit of fishing history and plenty of fish stories. I still don't understand fishing, but found this brief book a good read.

What life was like as the son of Ernest.......2004-10-31
Jack Hemingway was the son of the famous novelist Ernest Hemingway, a larger than life character who dominated Jack's entire life. Even after "Papa" committed suicide, Jack continued to live in his father's shadow. I cannot say I envy his position. To make matters worse, Jack's daughter, Muriel, who was a film actress, also committed suicide.
This book is the story of Jack's life, in particular of his passion for fly fishing - passion he shared with his father - and his relation with his father (the subtitle of the book is "My life with and without papa"). His entire life is actually told as a series of fishing trips, which are then expanded into a description of his non-fishing life at those times. For instance, one chapter deals with Jack's role in World War 2,when he was dropped behind enemy lines in France, but still found time to do some fishing in between military activities.
Although Jack was not of the same literary calibre as his father, I found this formula original and very enjoyable, the more so since Jack gave it to me and I read it in Sun Valley, where Jack lived until his death a few years ago. I would highly recommend the book, if you can find a copy.
Book Description
Like countless Gloucester fishermen before and since, Howard Blackburn and Tom Welch were trawling for halibut on the Newfoundland banks in an open dory in 1883 when a sudden blizzard separated them from their mother ship. Alone on the empty North Atlantic, they battled towering waves and frozen spray to stay afloat. Welch soon succumbed to exposure, and Blackburn did the only thing he could: He rowed for shore. He rowed five days without food or water, with his hands frozen to the oars, to reach the coast of Newfoundland. Yet his tests had only So begins Joe Garland's extraordinary account of the hero fisherman of Gloucester. Incredibly, though Blackburn lost his fingers to his icy misadventure, he went on to set a record for swiftest solo sailing voyage across the Atlantic that stood for decades. Lone Voyager is a Homeric saga of survival at sea and a thrilling portrait of the world's most fabled fishing port in the age of sail.

The Real Iron Man.......2007-01-10
Howard Blackburn accomplished a feat of endurance and spirit that equals any. This is a well told tale of the man who froze his hands to the oars of his dory to row 100 miles in January off Newfoundland. Gripping and substantial, this book stays with you.
A Hero You Just Might Have Missed.......2004-06-02
It would be too easy to simply say that Howard Blackburn rose above his adversity. I should like to have known more about, or even known him - fisherman, retailer, sailor and philanthropist - here is a man of legend among men of iron. Howard's tale is marvelous; a testament to the pioneers and explorers who follow their restless dreams without compromise. Lone Voyager is a fascinating and enlightening look into the industry of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the men who fought long odds and the compelling draw of a man possessed of his visions.
Wonderful book about life at the turn of the century (1900).......2004-03-04
Howard Blackburn was one cool dude! I mean the guy gets caught away from the mother ship and rows for 5 days to live but it costs him all his fingers and that's just the first two chapters! You've got him going off to the Yukon on a gold rush jaunt, a couple of single handed trips across the Atlantic. A circumnavigation of the Eastern US via the Great Lakes and the Misissippi River and around Florida. He just won't quit.
Anyway I bought the book because of the stories about dories, and was hooked by all the other adventures as well.
BTW there is a rowing race of 22 miles in open Atlantic called the "Blackburn Challange" The folks of Glouster loved him.
Lone Voyager.......2000-07-21
I found an old copy of this book and read it a year ago. An incredible true story. I`m glad to see that it is available in paperpback again.
Remarkable adventure.......2000-06-25
After having read The Perfect Storm, I was interested in other stories about the fishermen of the Gloucester area. This book fit the bill perfectly--just as harrowing as The Perfect Storm, but with a happier ending.
Book Description
In Working the Sea, Wendell Seavey paints a lively portrait of life both on and off the shores of Maine. Journeying from a two-room schoolhouse to the College of the Atlantic, from boatyards to back alleys, and from labor strikes to soul-searching road trips, he is accompanied not only by fisherman, but also by professors, psychiatrists, and environmentalists. A man of humor and humility, open to both nature and the supernatural, Wendell Seavey is living proof that fishermen are indeed the best storytellers.

Absolutely a Wonderful Book! A Must Read for anyone from Maine!.......2006-11-06
A real "Down East" book about a real Down East fisherman, his life, trials, and stories. Reads great and I found it hard to put down. Being from Maine it reminded me of my childhood lobstering with my great grandfather and my great uncle. The memories just kept streaming in and this book is a keeper!
Book Description
Fishermen survive as relics, the last hunter-gatherers among us. Their boats, crammed with ropes and nets, carry the mystique of a nearly forgotten world ruled by the elements.
Now an accomplished writer, Molyneaux as a young man journeyed to Maine with no experience and a dream of working on a boat. This is the story of his apprenticeship with Bernard Raynes, one of Maine's last independent commercial fishermen. In the early 1980s, these two men shared some of the fishing industry's best years, as well as gripping adventures on the stormy North Atlantic. Now their world has changed. The author discusses the factors-personal and political, environmental and economic-that led to the decline of New England fishing. Thanks to a strong work ethic and an iron will, Raynes resolutely hangs on to a vanishing way of life, while consolidation pushes that way of life out of reach for today's young fishermen.
For over three centuries, Raynes's ancestors invested their futures in the lives of fish. They learned to think like fish and developed unparalleled ability as fishermen. Today's fishermen will not have to match Raynes's supreme skill. Technology has edged Raynes out, and his fishing legacy will die with him.

We need more poets and warriors.......2005-09-21
Paul's a friend and some of this is familiar through conversations we've had and times we've lived through. We haven't seen each other for several years and just recently reconnected via email. As soon as I could I bought the book and have been reading it-it's like we are still talking and I've emailed him my first response;
"It's like having a conversation with you-it's cool and spooky-the book is beautifully written-of course. The description of you and Bernard pulling up the fish with the seawater streaming over white knuckles was superb of course, of course.
The dark water-all of it. I can't separate it from you and the line about living another man's memories you spoke to me and reading the book I'm living them too.
Maureen"
Paul's style is so accessible and everyone in Maine should read this book. We all have a brother or uncle or cousin or sister or mother or grandparent that is just like one of the Raynes or like Paul or one of his boatmates. Everyone not in Maine will see human truth in the story as well. The last chapter Poets and Warriors is immediately recongizable to me-that was the period when we were warriors and poets watching this world we knew culminate and turn into something else.
This book is important from an ecological standpoint-it reaffirms the human connection to our environment. There are generations of farmers who've lost the land and builders who've lost their craft-everything seems to erode, if we let it. Paul reminds us that the vast ocean has been depleted by our policies and inattention and lack of care for the human connections we have to our world.
Buy it-read it-my friend has a voice that should be heard.
the best read of the summer.......2005-08-09
More than just a fishing book, Molyneaux took me above and below the waves and into the halls of government where polcies were set that targeted people like the book's main character, Bernard Raynes. Molyneaux gives an intimate portrayal of the Bernard, whose English and Acadian French ancestors fished the Gulf of Maine since the 1600s, and depicts how that rich heritage has enabled Raynes to survive in the face of an antognistic political climate and resource scarcity. The book is beautifully written and contains lessons that go way beyond fishing.

The Bright Country:A Fisherman's Return to Trout,Wild Water and Homself.......2007-01-03
Mr. Middleton is in a much darker period of his writing and life at the time of his writing this book and though he still writes well, the tone takes on a darker shade than The Earth is Enough or On the Spine of Time which are cherished pieces in my collection.
Small World.......2001-06-26
THE BRIGHT COUNTRY is a heartbreakingly beautiful, sad, hilarious, touching book that flows and burbles along like a favorite trout stream. I've probably bought 6-8 copies of the book over the years and loaned, given or otherwise forced it upon at least twice that number of people. It's not a perfect novel, but is easily the most honest look I've ever encountered into the heart of a guy I wish I'd had the opportunity to know. There's more than a little bit of trout fishing, but this is a book that hooks non-anglers as well.
A Bright Ending.......2001-04-24
I can't write Harry Middleton to tell him how much I admire his writing, or how much his stories and themes resonate in me. He died not long ago. And if I may quote Russell Chatham, "It hurts to know that Harry Middleton rode the back of a garbage truck every night during the wee hours to put groceries on his family's table." It's true. It's part of this story.
This is the moving, affecting story of Middleton's struggle with depression, his mother's death of brain cancer, and, most memorably, a blind trout on the South Fork of the Platte River. Like all of Middleton's books, the language is wonderful and the characters are memorable. Perhaps more so than most, this book is Middleton laying his soul bare, telling a story as it happened, cutting close to the bone.
And if flyfishing isn't the whole story here, it is part of the path to redemption.
Harry, we hardly knew you, and I wish there had been more time, and more books. But you will live on for me and for those readers who discover you. Ollie ollie oxen free.

Book Description
With the recent selection of Frank Parker Day's 1928 novel Rockbound as CBC's 2005 "Canada Reads" winner, interest in the life and work of Day has never been greater. In 1927, Day wrote his autobiographical reflections on fishing, family, and, more broadly, humanity's place in the natural world. The Autobiography of a Fisherman is a wonderful recollection of one man's life, with characters struggling in a depressed economy, contending with the social pressures of local village life, and responding in one way or the other to the pull of the big city.
Day details his early introduction to fishing, which becomes a life-long passion, at once a `gentle art' and a `disease'. Studying at Oxford University on a Rhodes Scholarship (`it was easier to get one in those days'), his fervour for fishing is shared by many, but while at the University of Berlin studying Beowulf, he laments that he `did no trout fishing.'
Eventually, Day returns to Canada and is hired as an English professor at the University of New Brunswick, knowing it to be `the centre of a well-watered district.' The reader sees him through his final episode of fishing with his father before his father dies, as well as the First World War, during which time he `never wet a line', and beyond, as he marries, builds a family, and continues to fish. Day's reflections suggest the restorative powers of the environment and should appeal to even those readers who have never thought to sit quietly by the side of a stream, line in hand, waiting.

Super Reader.......2007-08-26
This is a really solid novel. Not even that much of a romance, I suppose it could be thrown in as a ghost buster.
An ex-cop who quit when she couldn't be the star detective anymore because of her eyesight is now a PI, and when a serial killer keeps working, she, her old lover and colleague, and the vampire she runs into have a demon to stop.
I'd happily read more. People that like your standard mystery books, the Night Stalker, things like that would probably find this ok too I think.
A must read for Vampire fans.......2007-06-11
I first heard about this book when the series was about to premiere on Lifetime and decided I simply had to read the wonderful books the show was based on.
Ms. Huff creates engaging characters and a first class plot making this title a unique take on the vampire genre. I was hooked within the first few pages and couldn't put the book down until I'd finished it. Now having read all of the books in this series and the three titles in the spin off series I can say without qualification that this is one of the best series of books in the vampire genre today. I highly recommend it.
Prince Charming meets Lady P.I., macabre style.......2007-04-04
Since there is a synopsis of the book provided in previous reviews, I'll forego including my own. Blood Price is one step above a guilty pleasure...it's more like an empty pleasure, kind of like empty calories. It's pure amusement. The banter between the principle characters is sassy and entertaining. Vicki Nelson is a short-tempered person, sometimes bewilderingly irritable. But of course, since she is trying to cope with a progressive, incurable eye disease; wounded pride comes with the territory. As for Mike Celluci, her ex-partner and the third player in the love triangle, he has not been given enough time in this first book of the series. He's hardly more than a plot device, spitting out pertinent information about both the case and Vicki's history so the reader will have more than one thing to piece together while waiting for Vicki's next encounter with Henry. And while Henry is supernatural, mysterious, and captivating, he is not invincible. This only adds to his charm. However, his history is explained far too often with flashbacks. They appear suddenly and require some disorientation before the information can be processed.
Together, this trio solves the caper, narrowing in on a rather one-dimensional bad guy who himself seems to serve no greater purpose than moving the plot along rather than be a character in his own right. Then again, the story isn't really about the antagonist. It's how a hard-boiled ex-cop who has a servicable physical relationship with her previous colleague begins to take on a new physical relationship that is even more servicable to her new partner. It keep him alive.
Blood Price is definatley more action driven than character driven, but it's a decent read. Something for lunch breaks and mental health days. It was a book I could put down, but I always came back to it when I left it by my chair.
Even Vampires Need Friends.......2007-02-15
Blood Price (1991) is the first fantasy novel in the Blood series. Victoria Nelson -- Vicki -- is a former Toronto homicide detective who had resigned for medical reasons. She had been diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa and experienced various visual disorders, including night blindness, tunnel vision and myopia. Now she worked as a private detective on cases that don't overtask her senses.
In this novel, eight months after leaving the force, Vicki witnesses the death of a young man attacked by something that tore out his throat. Her former partner -- Mike Celluci -- responds to the call. As usual, she and Mike fight over everything, but even Mike confesses that he had missed fighting with her.
Now she can't seem to let go of the case, particularly when similar deaths occur. The media start speculating about the murders being vampire slayings. She keeps calling her friends in the coroner's office and the Criminal Investigation Division to find out more information. She even goes to the scenes to look for clues missed by the police.
One night, she catches up with the killer just as he is disappearing. She also finds a vampire on the scene, but he punches her out and takes her to his apartment. Henry Fitzroy, the vampire, has a choice: kill her or trust her with his story. He takes the second course, although he can always remedy any mistake by killing her later.
Henry is the illegitimate son of King Henry VIII of England. He is now four hundred and fifty years old and has been a vampire for most of that time. He was made a vampire by Christina, who also rescued him from his deep grave after his apparent death at the age of seventeen.
Henry explains to Vicki that the killer is a lesser demon, who is working on a scheme to open this world to Hellish havoc. Since they can't trust the police with this information, Henry and Vicki need to nullify the scheme. Vicki is charged with finding the master and Henry will try to take out the lesser demon.
Then Coreen, girlfriend of the first victim, hires Vicki to find the alleged vampire. Even if the police don't believe in vampires (or demons), Vicki has an acceptable reason to search for clues. Besides, the client will pay for her time and expenses.
In this story, Vicki finds Tony to find out the mood on the streets. After a night nurse is killed by would-be vampire hunters, Mike asks her to pass on the details to another contact -- a media columnist -- to reduce the panic. Henry is also glad to have a little less hysteria about vampires.
Greg, the night security guard in Henry's apartment building, is beginning to suspect that he is a vampire. Henry fails to control his expression upon first seeing the vampire stalker headline and really frightens Greg. Then the day guard points out Henry's vampire-like lifestyle. After the murder of another resident, Greg actually comes to Henry's apartment with a croquet stake just in case; Vicki heads off that attempt, but forgets to tell Henry.
This story is another vampire tale with a twist. The vampire is one of the good guys and fights to save his mortal friend. The bad guys are demons, to whom few readers would object as villains. Although there is one mortal villain, Norman Birdwell, a computer geek with delusions of persecution; somehow he seems to deserve his eventual fate.
Some of the reviewers seem to have trouble understanding the character motivations in this tale. Vicki and Mike [...] heads because they are competing in the macho police culture. Staff-Sergeant Gowan hates Vicki because she was much better at police work than he will ever be. Vicki avoids her mother because Mom always forces her into the role of a young child. Henry is afraid of terrified Toronto residents running amuck while searching for vampires, but he is also scandalized by the thought of a vampire "child" being abandoned by his "parent". Norman is very angry at others who laugh at him; he also lacks a sense of empathy and blames everyone else for his own mistakes (classic psychopathic personality).
For someone who avoids horror flics and vampire movies, I seem to have become heavily involved in a certain type of vampire novel. Beginning with Hambly's Those Who Hunt the Night, I began to read vampire stories with classical fantasy motifs, such as quests. Then I discovered vampire mysteries. Now I read vampire related stories by Hamilton, Harris, Harrison, Huff and others.
Highly recommended for Huff fans and for anyone else who enjoys tales of supernatural ploys, preternatural concerns and confused lovers.
