The Painted Trout draws together a host of discoveries, high jinks and eurekas as it recounts the author’s exceptional angling days. Stirred through the lure of fishing, The Painted Trout magically courses through coming-of-age reflections, humor and romance surrounded by the charm of upstate New York.

In HE the unnamed protagonist, a law student, is involved with a series of women who either loathe him, try to poison him, save his life or exploit him sexually. The first is the nanny of his ex boss’ kid. She sends him a hateful letter, enclosing a pubic hair and rubbed with pheromones. After observing a woman in a coffee shop whose breasts are ‘freaks of nature’ she leaves a briefcase and departs. He’s unsuccessful in returning it to her, but this karmic event exposes him to a bevy of dangerous and seductive paramours.
