"It's actually in the Prologue to Death At Charity's Point . . . That's how Brady became a fisherman . . . It ocurred to me pretty quickly that fly fishng for trout, which is what I do, is not too much unlike investigating crimes" . . .

SPEAKEASY || In nature, in the wild, is the place Ehor Boyanowsky feels most at home. Fly fishing is one way Ehor satisfies this need for being outdoors, and for years one of his closest fishing buddies was none other than UK's Poet Laureate Ted Hughes. Ehor preserves his memories of these shared trips in his latest book Savage Gods, Silver Ghosts. Speakeasy host, John Burns, headed out to Ehor's home outside Vancouver, amid the West Coast forest, and spoke to him over the sounds of eagles and wind in the trees.
