Paul Torday was born in 1946 and read English Literature at Pembroke College, Oxford. He is married with two sons by a previous marriage and has two stepsons. He has spent most of his life in industry, but in the last three years has found the time to write. For the last fifteen years he has also been a keen salmon fisherman, and as he lives close to the River North Tyne, he has been able to indulge in this enthusiasm. He lives in Northumberland and has often visited the Middle East.
This is the story of Dr Alfred Jones, a fisheries scientist - for whom diary -notable events include the acquisition of a new electric toothbrush and getting his article on caddis fly larvae published in 'Trout and Salmon' - who finds himself reluctantly involved in a project to bring salmon fishing to the Highlands of the Yemen - a project that will change his life, and the course of British political history forever. With a wickedly wonderful cast of characters - including a visionary Sheikh, a weasely spin doctor, Fred's devilish wife and a few thousand transplanted salmon - Salmon Fishing in the Yemen is a novel about hypocrisy and bureaucracy, dreams and deniability, and the transforming power of faith and love.
看完这本书想找作者其他的作品。发现好可惜。 2007年出版处女作《到也门钓鲑鱼》,2011年,等到据此改编的同名电影上映时,作者本人已经因为癌症,病情严重不能亲赴现场。2013年去世,享年才67岁。 鲑鱼一书可谓享尽赞誉,拿奖无数,Goodreads上显示它在全球出版了50多个版本。...

Robert和Shiekh死了,Harriet去法国了,Fred和Mary继续着分居两地名存实亡的婚姻。写得很现实,现实不如电影圆满,多了些思考,看了平添几分怅惘。
评分I thought I liked it...not so much as I think of it now. One would never really "learn" anything from it, being a good read as it is. Definitely not "funny" as a comedy.
评分Robert和Shiekh死了,Harriet去法国了,Fred和Mary继续着分居两地名存实亡的婚姻。写得很现实,现实不如电影圆满,多了些思考,看了平添几分怅惘。
评分看似刻板记录的卷宗文件,却满是诙谐和讽刺,很有意思的春秋笔法。一个关于信念和希望的故事,却有这样一个看不到希望、令人丧失信念的结尾。于是读的过程是欢乐的,但回味却压抑又沉重
评分其实就是一段劈腿= =
