John MacLean on HOME WATERS

Published: June 15, 2021, 4 a.m.

You don't have to be an avid fly fisher to appreciate John Maclean's beautiful new book HOME WATERS, but it will certainly inspire you to spend more time outside. A former Washington correspondent for the Chicago Tribune, with a second career writing books about wildfire, John now splits his time between DC and his family\u2019s cabin on Seeley Lake in Montana. And if you\u2019ve read John\u2019s father\u2019s book, A River Runs Through It and Other Stories, you know that cabin, and the Blackfoot River, and John\u2019s Uncle Paul \u2014 though you won\u2019t know Uncle Paul\u2019s whole story, until you read HOME WATERS.
Featured books: Home Waters by John Maclean, A River Runs Through It by Norman Maclean, Ernest Hemingway's short story, The Big Two-Hearted River (included in his collection In Our Time), and a Sherlock Holmes omnibus. Produced/Hosted by Miwa Messer and engineered by Harry Liang.
