About the Author:
Norman Maclean (1902–1990) was a writer, scholar, and lifelong fly fisherman. Raised in Missoula, Montana, his summers logging and working for the U.S. Forest Service inspired his deeply personal stories. A longtime English professor at the University of Chicago, Maclean published his first fiction at 73. His posthumous work, Young Men and Fire, also became a bestseller, cementing his place as a literary voice of the American West.
