"Fly-fishing legend meets global adventure in Heywood's sparkling, ambitious novel . . . an engrossing bildungsroman . . . part Tom Robbins, part David Copperfield."--"Publishers Weekly (Starred) The Snowfly takes you on a hunt through Vietnam, Soviet Russia, and a vast Canadian wasteland. The snowfly, a legendary insect-enormous and exceedingly rare-attracts trout of such size that they couldn't possibly exist. But in The Snowfly, such things can and do. Bowie Rhodes is a reporter who learns about the myth of the snowfly early in his childhood. Legend has it that the giant snowfly hatches every seven to ten years, never on the same river twice. The Snowfly is the sacred quest of only the most obsessed trout hunters. Rhodes's reporting brings him to the extremes of humanity-in the jungles of Vietnam, in the labyrinth of Brezhnev's Soviet Union, in a poisoned Canadian wasteland of uranium mines. The world Heywood creates in The Snowfly is broader, and more wild, with more mysterylurking beneath the surface waters than our own.
