Synopsis
The title novella tells the story of a young man in Montana, his errant brother, and their father (a minister like MacLean's own father) who taught his sons fly fishing. The other stories in the collection are "USFS 1919: The Ranger, the Cook, and a Hole in the Sky," a coming-of-age tale set in the mountains of Montana, and "Logging and Pimping and 'Your Pal, Jim'," about a logging camp. Written when MacLean was in his 70s, these three vivid autobiographical tales comprise his first work of fiction.

Publisher's Notes
First Line: "In our family, there was no clear line between religion and fly fishing."
Industry Reviews
"Altogether beautiful in the power of its feeling...As beautiful as anything in Thoreau or Hemingway."
Chicago Tribune Books - Alfred Kazin
"The characters are obsessed with fly-fishing, and the descriptions of the sport are set in a dramatically realized landscape which develops a mythic dimension as the story proceeds....A RIVER RUNS THROUGH IT enables us to engage with a more innocent rural America. However, these stories are far more than the reconstruction of a lost world; the precision and artistry of Norman MacLean's writing raise the book to the level of a small masterpiece."
Times Literary Supplement - Jeremy Worman (11/23/2001)
