   “And sitting on the porch one night at La Hacienda, reading by generator light, I was hardly even tempted when bats came vectoring down – fruit bats, maybe – called by the lamp's citreous glow in which, turning, I could see my rod fly against the rail, its golden reel glittering like something electrical, or something alive….”
