Overview
"Gone Fishing is a novel in progress that covers the formation and dissolution of a family, framed through a renegade fishing trip taken by father and son. The novel primarily covers two major periods in the characters' lives in parallel: the beginnings of parents Denise and Jared's romance in college and young adulthood, and Jared and Billy's fishing trip following the couple's years-long separation. The novel tackles themes of what makes adulthood, young love, and the stresses and responsibilities of being a caretaker. Gone Fishing shifts in perspective between Billy, Denise, and Jared, crossing through formative experiences in each character's self-identity within the family unit. The project covers the first six of the novel's twelve chapters in present action, from the beginning of the fishing trip to the preparation to return home. It also covers the beginning of Denise's search for her family." -- Abstract
