BANJO LESSONS is a delightful, comic, adventurous, and romantic novel. David Carpenter's touch --as he pays playful homage to Joyce's classic Portrait of the Artist --is as deft and true as that of his fly-casting, banjo-plucking hero, Tim Fisher.
This engaging tale spans the Alberta oil boom of the fifties, and the folk music scene of the sixties. Along the way, Tim finds out the difference between sex and love, and discovers how to catch trout and be a writer. And he even learns how to play the banjo!
