The Sporting Road

Jim Fergus

FR

Voici le journal d’un chasseur, d’un pêcheur, constitué de petites nouvelles, des histoires d’hommes, de chiens, d’animaux sauvages. L’auteur distille ses souvenirs comme un hymne à la nature, aux grands espaces américains, aux amitiés éternelles. Hommage à la terre américaine, à ses fondateurs, mais aussi à ses écrivains, Jim Harrison, Rick Bass, Norman McLean, ces petites nouvelles sont aussi une leçon de simplicité dans l’écriture, d’un extrême dépouillement.

EN

More than just a man and his dog hunting adventure, The Sporting Road is a book about the land and man’s place in it. It is also, in many ways, a book about relationships, relationships with nature, animals, and the people who live around us. As Rick Bass says in his introduction, Jim Fergus is a man for whom The common denominator is not geographical, but internal; here is a man who belongs intensely to the living. And slowly, gradually – essay by essay – you become aware of the unsaid: the fact that he fits a diminishing time, a diminishing space, and a diminishing code of manners. That he always puts others before him; that he considers and respects his friends, his prey, his dogs, and the landscapes that engage these things.
