Description:

Adventure: New for 2007

A travelogue of a motorcycle trip from Vietnam through Laos and then on to China and finally Mongolia, where the Charlottesville author hitchhiked, bussed, and rode horses to find a taimen, a fish that every angler with a flyrod, once he learns of it, dreams of catching. In the style of Bruce Chatwin or the better travel writing in the 1930s, economically vivid description draws the reader into the unspoiled vastness of Mongolia.
