Summary: James Prosek is the finest new writer of the genre
Comment: Don't think twice..buy anything authored by Prosek. He is an amazing writer now. As he ages his writer's (and painter's) eye will absorb more. If we are lucky, we will look at his observations and see if we can learn his methods. This is the examined life and it is worth every minute of the very fast read.
Rating: 2
Summary: A premature memoir
Comment: Prosec's view of life, even just angling and love, from the elevation of >26 years is underwhelming, especially compared to his pictures which are little devotions for my eye. By comparison, his topic and his prose here is like reading a cloying love letter from camp.
Keep drawing, Jim!

Summary: Prosek and Passageshttp://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/stor
Comment: I have been a public school teacher since 1982, and I have taught in five different school systems.
Over the summer I read James Prosek's latest book on: Early Love and Trout. I found myself re-reading certain lines and smiling. I thought it was wonderful to find a book for Middle School and High School students that they can identify with at their present stage in life. The emotions and feelings James writes of, are theirs at this moment - the value of friendship, the excitement of new love and the pain caused by divorce. I think is particularly poignant how James describes how he dealt with that pain. Instead of anger, drugs and alcohol, James put all of his energy into nature. Finding new fishing places, and re-gaining his innocence, rather than becoming an angry and bitter individual.
Throughout the book, James's art compliments the stories like beautiful lyrics to a haunting melody.
I truly recommend this book as a gift or as an excellent choice as requirement reading for High School or Middle School Students.
