Interview with Chris McCully (2011)

Quotes:
"[Chris McCully's] short stories are acutely observed, wonderfully evocative and very, very funny.... The sixteen 'sketches' contained in his latest book are, by equal measure, both hilarious and poignant. They make for some wonderful reading.... Clearly no stranger to adventure, Chris's accounts of derring-do in Mombasa, or epic battles on the Fraser River are written with an honesty rarely seen. However, more appealing to me is his ability to see beyond the ordinary and to find the humour in the every day." - Ade Bristow (reviewing Sketches with Fishing Rods (2008) in Journal of the Grayling Society)
