David Vann reads "Ichthyology," a story from his collection, Legend of a Suicide. Set in the wilds of Alaska, the story that takes on the shifting legend of a lost father.

“A small, lovely book has been written out of [Vann’s] large and evident pain. ‘A father, after all,’ Vann writes, ‘is a lot for a thing to be.’ A son is also a lot for a thing to be; so is an artist. With Legend of a Suicide, David Vann proves himself a fine example of both.” —New York Times Book Review
