      Thomas McGuane's obsession with fish has taken him from the river in his backyard to the holiest waters of the fly-fisher's world.

      Thomas McGuane''s obsession with fish has taken him from the river in his backyard to the holiest waters of the fly-fisher''s world.

      The Longest Silence sets the heart pounding for a glimpse of moving water, and demonstrates what a life dedicated to sport reveals about life.
