ESSAY ON: Duncan/The River Why

Number of Pages 4

This research paper: A 4 page book review that summarizes and analyzes Duncan's novel The River Why. This book concerns fishing in the coastal rivers of Oregon for steelhead and salmon. It is a provocative book that is, at times, very funny, terse, incisive and occasionally boring when the author becomes too enthralled with some of the "big" questions of life. Not surprisingly, as this is a novel published by the Sierra Club, it is also a book that promotes a conservation theme, which is even more pertinent today than it was 20 years ago when the book was first published, as the government has, in many ways, turned away from environmental concerns. Examination of this text shows it to be a well-written tale that is a "must read" for anyone who enjoys the great outdoors or, at least, appreciates its beauty. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
