Join our virtual book talk with author Leigh Seippel on his novel RUIN, A Novel of Flyfishing in Bankruptcy

In his recent novel, Leigh Seippel lives in the world of Francy and Frank Campbell. He has worked a small farm in the Hudson Valley, complete with officious goat herd. Flyfishing has taken him across four continents. He is a past president of The Anglers’ Club of New York, where he now heads its fishery conservation activities.

The ghosts of Fitzgerald, Hemingway and Pynchon haunt the flowing prose of Leigh Seippel’s pensive novel, RUIN: A Novel of Flyfishing in Bankruptcy (City Point Press; September 27, 2022). Seippel’s debut borrows from the protagonist’s growing fascination with the art of fly fishing to portray a brilliant surface world beneath which dark things swim.
