Blues

By: John Hersey

Narrated by: Norman Dietz

From the revered Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist and writer comes his national bestseller on one of the world’s oldest and most popular activities, fishing. Presented in narrative form as a conversation between a fisherman and the Stranger, Hersey draws upon his own experiences and passion as the fisherman reflects on the age-old sport, offering his own insights and thoughts.

From the depths of the ocean to the creatures near the shore, Hersey perfectly answers why fishing has been such an integral part of humanity.
