On the verandah of the Buckley's Crossing Hotel, reclining in dimpled leather armchairs, Judges Carrington and Thorpe observed in silence the giant trout shuffling across the bridge.I am very grateful to have the book, The Trout Opera by Matthew Condon, and the first chapter bodes very well.* But I am not just fish guy.
In other news, I can't wait to go to this.
* It can be really annoying getting hold of books published in Australia. I have been gently trying to get hold of Frank Moorhouse's Dark Palace for ages, having loved Grand Days, to which it's a sequel.**
** I've just bought a second hand or imported copy.***
*** I assume Australians feel similar frustrations re The Kilburn Social Club.

Oh me too. Can we go together?
Having more or less described your blog only recently as "American football meets fish", I feel I can hardly have helped in your fight against the fish guy image. Sorry.
Since the damage is already done......you know about this, right?
