About the Author Luke Jennings is an author and journalist who has written for Vanity Fair, the New Yorker, and Time.
Jennings offers here a striking, elegiac narrative for lovers of unique memoirs and the finest fly-Fishing literature.
For only by searching far beneath the surface, he suggests in this most moving and thought-provoking of memoirs, can you connect with your own deep history.
The quest, as always, is for more than the living quarry.
As an adult, Jennings has sought out lost and secretive waterways, probing waters at dead of night in search of giant pike.
Blood Knots is about angling, about great fish caught and lost, but it is also about friendship, honor, and coming of age.
It would lead to bright streams and wild country, but would end with his mentor\'s capture, torture, and execution by the IRA.
So began an enlightening but often dark-shadowed journey of discovery.
But then a series of teachers presented themselves, including an inspirational young intelligence officer, from whom he learned stealth, deception, and the art of dry-fly fishing.
His progress was slow, and for years, he caught nothing.
With library books as his guide, he applied himself to the task of learning to fish.
Beneath their surfaces waited alien and mysterious worlds.
As a child in the 1960s, he was fascinated by the rivers and lakes around his home.
It places Jennings in the front rank of natural history writers.
Blood Knots is a brilliant and dramatic Memoir of an angler\'s life.
