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. An illiterate Canadian woodchopper who is “as bottomless as” this body visits it in a book that notes, “if a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer.” The narrator of a book titled for this body of water watches a battle between red and black ants. For 10 points, name this body of water in Concord that titles a memoir by Henry David Thoreau. ■END■
