Review of Salmon Fishing in the Yemen (2012) by Stephen Holden for New York Times — 08 Mar 2012
Unlike those in the book, who speak through e-mails, diaries, letters and interviews, the characters here leave the impression of giving harmless nibbles instead of flesh wounds. Defanged and pushed into the background, the satire vanishes, and you are left with an agreeable romantic comedy.
