No, Jon. It's all about the struggle of an old man to survive. And a young boy's love of that old man. And about a village's support of that old man, and about the role old people play in the health and vitality of a community, and lots and lots of other things. But it is NOT about not having to hold the line. If you want to write a novel about how to fish, please do so. But that's not this book.
