Fishing for Tales

Event Description

Join two celebrated writers - Sylvia Taylor and Jude Isabella - for a unique perspective on the ocean, its wildlife, and the people who work on its waves. Sylvia Taylor’s The Fisher Queen captures the reality of life on a fishboat, exploring the tight-knit relationship of fishers with the coast’s wild, untamed waters. Jude Isabella’s Salmon: A Scientific Memoir investigates a narrative that is important to the identity of the Pacific Northwest Coast—the salmon as an iconic species. She follows ecologists, archaeologists and fisheries biologists to learn about the fish through the eyes of scientists in the field. Facebook.com/ReadLocalBC
