Erin Quinney (momfog) | 5 comments i took a fantasy lit class a million years ago and read a book i absolutely loved. All i can really remember is the salmon swimming upstream throughout the whole book. It was very detailed and I think the narration was from the perspective of the salmon. The whole book wasn't just the salmon, though. There was a "normal story." There's a good possibility that it was a translation as were a lot of the books in that class. i can remember the name and author of every other book I read in that class except this one and it was my favorite! Old age, I guess. Please help!

Erin Quinney (momfog) | 5 comments Whoa, now you're really asking me to tax my memory! It's a great suggestion, but I have no recollection of the professor's name as it's been nearly 15 years since I've been to college.

stormhawk | 183 comments I was basing the suggestion on my own experience, as it's 30 years since I headed off to college and I remember the names of my professors, especially the ones I particularly favored.

Erin Quinney (momfog) | 5 comments I have some of my favorites that I remember, too. Unfortunately, this one wasn't one of those. Thanks again!

Erin, are you still searching for this book? It sounds like you read it about 1995, do you know if the book was old or new then?

No response from Erin since 2010, moving to Abandoned.
