See full description
Quirky characters, bizarre dreams, and tall tales abound in this final instalment of interconnected narratives depicting life in a small west-coast fishing village.

David Giblin's stint as a seasonal salmon fishing guide in the 1980s has provided fodder for dozens of stories that combine the quaintness of small-town maritime life with the comedic possibilities of a local tourist industry that caters to the over-privileged and under-educated. In the conclusion to this acclaimed trilogy, Giblin delves deep into the history and geography of Stuart Island and the Salish Sea, drawing surreal connections between past and present. With beloved returning characters including Nelson, Gillie, Vop, and Troutbreath--as well as the addition of a new guide named Lawrence who lends an air of "authenticity" for the benefit of the guides' inept clientele--The Trophy Hunter is a hilarious, nostalgic journey that will stick with readers longer than barnacles on the hull of a boat.

David Giblin is a visual artist and writer who worked for fifteen years as a salmon fishing guide on Stuart Island, roughly forty miles east of central Vancouver Island. This experience provided a fertile environment for the incubation of great fishing stories, and eventually led to the publication of The Codfish Dream and Gilly the Ghillie, the first two books in Giblin's West Coast Fishing Guide trilogy. Kerriann Cardinal is a film producer, actor, and storyteller of Métis descent. She has worked on numerous movies and TV series, including the feature film and limited series productions of Bones of Crows.
