Illuminated by Water by Malachy Tallack
'Wade into it, and let it flow through you' - CAL FLYN
Nature, Memory & the Delights of a Fishing Life
'This book is illuminated by water, but also by philosophy, experience and a profound sympathy for the natural world. A delight' - LUKE JENNINGS
Writer and singer-songwriter Malachy Tallack has been passionate about fishing since he was young. Growing up in Shetland, he and his brother would go in search of trout in the island's lochs and rivers, and in so doing discovered a sense of freedom, of wonder, and an abiding passion.
By why is it that catching a fish - or simply contemplating catching a fish - can be so thrilling, so captivating? Why is it that time spent beside water can be imprinted so sharply in the memory? Why is it that what seems a simple act - that of casting a line, waiting and hoping - can feel so rich in mystery?
In this beautifully written book, he seeks to answer such questions, to understand and explain that freedom, and to trace the origins and sources of that sense of wonder.
