🧵 2. But from a craft perspective, I’m still ruminating.

On the one hand, some passages are so clear and brilliantly cinematic that I can feel the cold water around my legs, see every cast land, and feel the pull of big trout. Absolute mastery of physical reality.

🧵 3. On the other hand… there are stretches of repetition and slightly hazy phrasing that feel less like meditation and more like the prose trying a bit too hard to be lyrical. I get the intent—immersion, rhythm, interiority—but I’m not convinced every line achieves the goal.

🧵 4. At times, it feels as if the technique outruns the function of the sentence.

Give me “The Snows of Kilimanjaro” or “The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber” any day—cleaner, sharper, and they grab you by the throat without ever making you stop and think,

🧵 5. “wait…why in the hell did he write it that way?”—all while leaving plenty of carefully engineered white space for your imagination to do the heavy lifting.

But hey—what do I know? Perhaps I’m too critical after spending four years writing a fishing novel.

🧵 1. WARNING‼️Literary Blasphemy Ahead

Just read Big Two-Hearted River—often described as a masterpiece—by Ernest Hemingway.

Verdict? I loved it because I’m a Hemingway fan and it makes you feel in your bones the healing benefits and meditative nature of fly fishing alone.

Not written for one place.
Written to stay.

Reading a book while camping is peak.

Not big enough for a record, even on 8lb tippet‼️

Beautiful movie. The story telling is excellent. Great twists and turns. Lovely cinematography. A must for Japanophiles. Tear jerker. Better than Lost in Translation, IMHO.
