The River Why

''The River Why'' is a 1983 novel by David James Duncan. While it initially starts off as a fishing story, ''The River Why'' turns into the story of a young person struggling to come to grips with the modern world.
==Plot summary==
A coming of age story narrated by Gus Orviston, the oldest son in a fishing mad family. Frustrated with life in Portland, Oregon and the constant bickering of his bait fishing mother (Ma) and tweed-wearing, fly-fishing father (H2O) over the proper way to fish, Gus moves to a small cabin in the foothills of the Oregon Coast Range. Once there he begins to follow an "ideal schedule" that has him doing nothing but eating, sleeping and fishing. In the course of doing nothing but what he loves to do, he begins to notice the scars that humanity has inflicted on the river and forests he loves. Gus also goes through the traumatic event that occurs as he is fishing of wrestling with a dead man, and through it is able to realize how wrong his "ideal schedule" really is. As he wrestles with what to do he begins to relate with the people in his neighborhood. He starts to regain his passion for life through his intense passion of the outdoors and fishing, but also through human contact and having something more than fishing. He also meets his new friend, though while rather eccentric, is also a brilliant thinker, helping Gus see the meaning in his life. This continues to morph, mirroring the path to adulthood many experience, until he meets a young fisherwoman, Eddy. Although their relationship is unique, it is also a very true form of love. This is put to the test when she hooks Gus a salmon, making him fight it all night up the river. Gus ultimately chooses her and the new life he has started to create for himself by releasing the fish when he finally catches it, mirroring man's quest for success, to only discover that true success is the happiness experienced by the abandonment of preconceived notions of success that are not applicable anymore to a growing life, entering into adulthood. The film ends with Gus completely growing up by confronting his parents with Eddy and forgiving them.
