GREENING THE SET

MEET THE AUTHOR

�wonderfully funny� imbued with a wisdom and a rather joyous ecology-minded spirit� �Esquire

David James Duncan's first novel has gained an increasingly wide following over the years as readers connect with Gus Orviston�s hysterically funny, yet perceptive and moving journey of self discovery. Set in the Pacific Northwest, audiences will at once feel kinship with the young fly fishing prodigy as he leaves his quirky fishing-obsessed family in the city and searches for happiness on the banks of a wild and remote Oregon river.
