From the 1960s (when the advent of what many call the postmodern
style made establishing genres more difficult) to the present day,
writers have been incorporating science--not only the commonly
thought of science and technology but also the "soft" sciences such
as psychology and sociology--into what was previously considered
mainstream fiction. This book examines works by Thomas Pynchon,
Doris Lessing, and others who incorporate science in fiction and
exemplify the movement of mainstream fiction writers toward a new
genre termed "span." It also examines works by some science fiction
writers who are edging closer to the border of science fiction and
slowly over into span. This book maps the boundaries of the new
span genre of fiction and thus helps define texts that fall outside
the realms of mainstream and science fiction. Diagrams are included
and a bibliography and index.
Fly-fishing is a multifaceted sport that will absorb you in its reality, taking you to places of exceptional beauty, to explore and to revel in the solitude. It is so often spoken of as an art form while fly-tying, inextricably linked to fly-fishing, is in its own right a form of artistry.
South African Fishing Flies is a celebration of this artistry – the innovation, the talents of the originators and their vision of imagination, masters of the craft – and of all the fly-tyers of South Africa. It is not an exhaustive reference to all South African flies, but is rather an anthology of those that by virtue of their innovation in design, materials used and tying techniques have helped shape and, in some cases, change the thinking on fly-tying in this country.
It is also a visual celebration of these flies, the waters we fish, an introduction to some of the individuals in our fly-fishing community, and creators of South African flies.
