Editorial Review Amazon.com You certainly can't accuse Prosek of shrinking from a challenge. Walton's Compleat Angler is one of the towers of English literature. Not only the third most reprinted volume in the language (after the Bible and Shakespeare), it is the rare book that has spanned several centuries of readership without ever going out of print. Stepping into Walton's waders--literary and sporting--and fishing his way through public and private waters throughout Britain, Prosek attempts to navigate deeper, trickier currents than he's previously attempted. What he catches is part homage, part pilgrimage, part meditation, and entirely alluring--a work that balances youthful exuberance with insight and depth. Walton's considerable shadow challenges and encourages Prosek's growth as writer and artist; both his writing and the painting that illustrates this handsome effort are maturing. "I didn't exactly know what I would find," Prosek admits at the start. It's precisely this attitude that makes his journey, and the surprises he snares, all the more enchanting. --Jeff Silverman "Izaak Walton was my excuse to go to England. I had been thinking through ideas to get money from Yale in the form of a traveling fellowship for two years, and several attempts had failed. My last--and best--idea was to suggest to the fellowship committee that I go to England and fish in the footsteps of a legitimate seventeenth-century author, Izaak Walton, who wrote The Compleat Angler, the third most frequently reprinted book in the English language, one that has been in print for over three hundred years. I told them during my interview that Walton's words spoke to me, that fishing was my passion, and that his book represented and defended every facet of the art more lucidly than I ever could." -- James Prosek James Prosek has been called "the Audubon of the fishing world" by the New York Times. A passionate fisherman and talented artist from a young age, he published two illustrated books on fish and fishing while still an undergraduate at Yale. After winning a traveling fellowship to follow in the footsteps of Izaak Walton, The Compleat Angler became his obsession. He was fascinated by Walton, a humble man who won the friendship of kings, and he was intrigued by the book's philosophies concerning the timelessness and immortality that could be achieved by fishing. Although Walton was sixty when The Compleat Angler was published and Prosek only twenty when he set off to visit England, they each had traits in common: a love of fishing and an extraordinary ability to make friends. This is the story of a young man's pilgrimage through England, fishing the waters that are now privately held. Along with wonderful stories about good times, great fishing, and fine eating, this trip becomes an exploration of Waltonian ideals: how to live with humor, wisdom, contentment, and simplicity. The original watercolors complementing the text are wonderful. Like Walton's book, The Complete Angler is not about fishing but about life. Or rather, it is about fishing--but fishing is life.

Not Even Close to the Original
Meet Izaak Walton
not-so-deep thoughts Prosek doeslovely paintings, but the bottom line is that his writing lacks maturity.He violates many rules that should have been drilled into his head during"freshman comp" class. He doesn't show, he tells. He overusesflowery adjectives. And he can be melodramatic to the extreme. There isno shortage of books about flyfishing that are filled with overblown prose,books that try to make flyfishing something it is not. This book is one ofthem. Comparisons to Izaak Walton abound. This gets old after a while. Sodo the many "characters" Prosek fishes with, who we are told arevery interesting and "quite delightful," but most seemed to bepompous, bland individuals. For some reason, the trip itself bothered me.He got to fish many rivers only because he was a young man of privilege.Everyone he meets is awed by him, mainly because he is an Ivy Leaguer withthe right connections. He then makes sure we know that the class-obsessedpeople he meet complimented him on his "class" and"character." He seems to revel in this, never examining hisprivilege. Many times I wanted him to quit rhapsodizing over trout andstart examining his own life. I was very disappointed in Prosek as awriter. It lacks the depth of a good travel book (like Fen Montaigne's"Reeling in Russia"). And he can't compare to sporting writerslike McGuane, Bodio, Tom McIntyre and Robert F. Jones, all writers whosebooks reflect fierce joy, love, pain, conflict, and ambiguity. Iunderstand Prosek is now writing about love. Be very afraid.
For a painter he's a good writer...
I really look forward to reading this book |
