Question

In a chapter of Trout Fishing in America titled for this body of water, the narrator recalls discussing plans for a flea circus with his wino (“WINE-oh”) friends. A book set on this body of water inspired the title of a novel by William Melvyn Kelly in which Tucker Caliban leads an exodus of Black farmers. A narrator who lost a “hound, a bay horse, and a turtle-dove” before coming to this body of water compares the whistle of nearby trains to the “scream of a hawk.” Selin and Ivan swim in this (*) American body in Elif Batuman’s The Idiot. (-5[1])An illiterate Canadian (-5[1])woodchopper (10[1])who is “as bottomless (10[1])as” this (10[1])body visits it in a book that notes, “if a man does not (-5[1])keep pace with his (-5[1])companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer.” (10[1])The (10[1])narrator of a book titled for (10[1])this (-5[1])body of water watches a battle between red and (10[2])black (10[1])ants. (10[1])For 10 points, (10[1])name this body of water in Concord that titles a memoir by Henry David (10[1])Thoreau. ■END■ (10[3])
