Description:
James Dodson, in his probing, soft Southern accent, tells the story of driving across the United States with his daughter Maggie in search of the perfect trout stream and solace from his impending divorce. Musical interludes reflect the unfolding journey (fiddle music in the South, Native American rhythms in the West), adding yet another layer to an audio chronicle that is already rich in historical and personal context. Maggie herself reads a passage from her journal, lending the perspective of a 7-year-old to her father's narrative of their camping trip, which takes them from Maine to Yellowstone and back (additional excerpts from Maggie appear in the book). The sum of these elements is a truly poignant listening experience. Dodson's knowledge of American history, his attention to landscape and people, his willingness to explore his faith and failed marriage, and his unshakable devotion to his family and fly-fishing make him a fine traveling companion. (Running time: six hours, four cassettes) -- A.E.D.
