Miguel Street by V. S. Naipaul, ISBN 0375713875
"A stranger could drive through Miguel Street and just say 'Slum!' because he could see no more." But to its residents this derelict corner of Trinidad's capital is a complete world, where everybody is quite different from everybody else. There's Popo the carpenter, who neglects his livelihood to build "the thing without a name." There's Man-man, who goes from running for public office to staging his own crucifixion, and the dreaded Big Foot, the bully with glass tear ducts. There's the lovely Mrs. Hereira, in thrall to her monstrous husband. In this tender, funny early novel, V. S. Naipaul renders their lives (and the legends their neighbors construct around them) with Dickensian verve and Chekhovian compassion.
Set during World War II and narrated by an unnamed-but precociously observant-neighborhood boy, Miguel Street is a work of mercurial mood shifts, by turns sweetly melancholy and anarchically funny. It overflows with life on every page.

Into the Backing: Incredible True Stories about the Big Ones That Got Away-And Theones That Didn't by Lamar Underwood, ISBN 158574378X
Make no mistake: Big fish are box office. They sell tickets. They are those elusive drop-dead-gorgeous creatures of angling lore and myth. If you've ever had a date with one, that's the story your angling peers want to hear - about a very special fish that took you deep into your backing, a battle fought in desperation, with the sound of a whirring reel providing the background music. You'll find many such battles - those won and those lost - in the pages ahead. Best of all, it's not likely any of these tales could have taken place in your own backyard. To witness the frays, we're going places. Our guides are angling writers with the talent and sensibilities to describe what Papa Hemingway called "the way it was, " sharing with us all the enchantment and exhilaration of fishing episodes that were anything but ordinary.
