SALMON FISHING IN THE YEMEN. By Paul Torday.
2007 1st edition. Small 8vo. Ppxii,323. Decorative end-papers, silk marker. Blue boards. This edition limited to 250 signed and numbered copies.
Through a collection of "emails, diary entries, letters and reports, we learn of the plan to introduce salmon fishing into the Yemen, and the characters who try to implement the plan, those who are violently opposed to the project and those who just think it's a bit daft". Satire on the Blair years as an unknown academic gives in to Prime-Ministerial pressure with unexpected results. Good fun but with a serious message. The author is an angler and the fishing and fishery science content is pretty sound.
