“Judith Azrael gives us koans to brew within the mind.” — Kim Stafford, author of The Muses Among Us
Wherever I Wander is a collection of Judith Azrael’s lyrical prose written between 1979 and 2001. She takes the reader on an unforgettable voyage of discovery from Northern California to the San Juan islands, to Southeast Asia and along footpaths to tiny villages and chapels on the Greek islands. Whether she writes of teaching a writing workshop at a prison camp, stays at Buddhist monasteries, or watching dolphins leap from the sea in Bali, her words are haunting in their beauty and simplicity.

From Publishers Weekly
Candid but ultimately lackluster, Plumber’s memoir recounts how fly-fishing gave him solace and purpose while he worked his way through the death of his estranged father, a divorce, an increasingly distant relationship with his own son and a waning passion for his job as an editor at People magazine. Plumber (Holy Goof; Buttercups and Strong Boys) discovers his father’s fishing diary after his death and uses it as a guide to the sport, in hopes of gaining insight into the recalcitrant man with whom he shared so little. As with the other problematic areas in his life, Plumber initially hits more than a few snags. With time, though, he achieves increasing success, and eventually trout fishing opens the way for him to enter a new romantic relationship and share a few revealing moments with his son. Though Plumber doesn’t overplay the sentimentality, the book suffers from his reluctance to delve deeply into its more complex issues. Instead, he routinely quotes authors such as Thoreau and Hemingway, a practice that can get tiresome. Nonetheless, many readers may sympathize with Plumber’s struggle and the honesty of his tale, especially those who have spent their own afternoons working their troubles out on a stretch of river.
