VIRTUAL: An Evening with Mark Kurlansky, Author of The Unreasonable Virtue of Fly Fishing

Hudson Library & Historical Society


Wednesday, Mar. 10, 7 p.m.

call (330) 653-6658.

On Wednesday, March 10 at 7 p.m. the Hudson Library & Historical Society will host a live virtual streaming event with Mark Kurlansky, author of The Unreasonable Virtue of Fly Fishing. In a starred review, Kirkus Reviews notes that this book is “a thoroughly enjoyable mash-up of vivid memoir and fastidious, eccentric history.”

Historian Kurlansky’s lifelong love of the sport of fishing has taken him around the world, from the wilds of Alaska to Basque country, from the Catskills in New York to Oregon's Columbia River, from Ireland and Norway to Russia and Japan and he absorbed every fact, detail, and anecdote along the way. The Unreasonable Virtue of Fly Fishing marries Kurlansky's signature wide-ranging reach with a subject that has captivated him for a lifetime--combining history, craft, and personal memoir to show readers, devotees of the sport or not, the necessity of experiencing nature's balm first-hand.

Kurlansky is the New York Times bestselling author of Cod, Salt, Paper, The Basque History of the World, 1968, The Big Oyster, International Night, The Eastern Stars, A Continent of Islands, and The White Man in the Tree and Other Stories. He received the Dayton Literary Peace Prize for Nonviolence, Bon Appetit's Food Writer of the Year Award, the James Beard Award, and the Glenfiddich Award. Salt was a Los Angeles Times Book Prize finalist. He spent ten years as Caribbean correspondent for the Chicago Tribune.

Copies of The Unreasonable Virtue of Fly Fishing will be available for purchase courtesy of the Learned Owl Book Shop. Registration for this program is required and a valid email address is required at time of registration. Participants will receive an email invitation to attend the program, hosted on Zoom, a day before the program begins.
