Quirky characters, bizarre dreams, and tall tales abound in this final instalment of interconnected narratives depicting life in a small west-coast fishing village.
David Giblin's stint as a seasonal salmon fishing guide in the 1980s has provided fodder for dozens of stories that combine the quaintness of small-town maritime life with the comedic possibilities of a local tourist industry that caters to the over-privileged and under-educated. In the conclusion to this acclaimed trilogy, Giblin delves deep into the history and geography of Stuart Island and the Salish Sea, drawing surreal connections between past and present. With beloved returning characters including Nelson, Gillie, Vop, and Troutbreath--as well as the addition of a new guide named Lawrence who lends an air of "authenticity" for the benefit of the guides' inept clientele--The Trophy Hunter is a hilarious, nostalgic journey that will stick with readers longer than barnacles on the hull of a boat.
