title: Herring Nights: Remembering a Lost Fishery
author: Joe Upton
description: Notable Features: 
   Under the title Amaretto in the 1980s, this memoir gave lyrical voice to a dying way of life in Maine's herring fishery, just as Men's Lives (Peter Matthiessen) did for the Long Island surf fishery and Beautiful Swimmers (William Warner) for the Chesapeake Bay blue crab fishery.
   Back in print after 25 years, with a new introduction from Joe Upton to bring the story up to date.
   A swift, compelling read. A wonderful accompaniment for a Maine vacation. A great gift for any fan of sea stories.

  It wasn't Archie's fault really. Its true he went to America and fell in love
  with Lucille, the daughter of a millionaire hotel proprietor and if he did
  marry her—well, what else was there to do?
  
  
  From his point of view, the whole thing was a thoroughly good egg; but Mr.
  Brewster, his father-in-law, thought differently, Archie had neither money nor
  occupation, which was distasteful in the eyes of the industrious Mr. Brewster;
  but the real bar was the fact that he had once adversely criticised one of his
  hotels.
  
  
  Archie does his best to heal the breach; but, being something of an ass, genus
  priceless, he finds it almost beyond his powers to placate "the man-eating
  fish" whom Providence has given him as a father-in-law
