The Feather Thief by Kirk Wallace Johnson
5.0
man this was wildly fascinating. it’s both a heist story and hobby drama to the extreme
it disappoints me a lot how resistant much of the fly-tying community (at least from how they were portrayed here) were to just,,, using cheaper and more common feathers. most of these people didn’t even fish!! the fancy rare feathers were never necessary!!
i thought how this was written was really captivating, i sped through the story of the heist itself (and i still feel bad for Long Nguyen. the poor guy :/)
all in all, as someone who basically never reads true crime: this was really cool
