Has anyone here read the River Why by David James Duncan? I teach the novel
to my high school seniors. The focus is on breaking free of the family unit
and establishing an identity and environmental conservation. I recently had
a guardian of a student bash the novel by saying, "...which I thought was
convoluted, obtuse, too wordy and no doubt the dream
book of every aging alcoholic "hippie" in America..."

My principal and superintendent backed me 100%. But I would be interested
in your opinions...


take the asshole fishin'.
