Collection of comedic short stories ( ) A wonderful collection of short stories from Patrick McManus. He regales us with tales of hunting, fishing, camping and the adventures of his youth. One of my favorite stories in this book was "How to go splat!" closely followed by "A hunker is not a squat!" McManus is a great outdoor humorist and I enjoy reading all his work. This book was a delight. I would rate it on a par with the James Herriot novels, in a more earthy sort of way. One chapter made me laugh until my sides ached and tears rolled down my cheeks. In a way, his childhood memories bore enough resemblance to my own that it was a trip back in time. So fun to be surprised over and over in each chapter. Even when you see what's coming, you're not sure how it's coming. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Often compared to Garrison Keillor and Mark Twain, Patrick F. McManus maintains just the right balance between baffled innocence and conspiratorial confidence. Since 1979, this humorist has been delighting readers with hilarious stories recounting his childhood in rural Idaho and relating his misadventures in the great outdoors. Whether you're a sportsman or a couch potato, he will have you laughing out loud at his escapades. In this collection of 30 tall tales, McManus introduces you to the perils of Trailer Trials and Mean Tents. Like Hemingway, McManus hunts the big fish in Down and Way Out in Brazil. The title tale, The Grasshopper Trap, unveils an ingenious invention for catching fish bait in motion. And in Hunting Camp Etiquette, McManus becomes a rustic Miss Manners. Narrator Norman Dietz adds additional spice to each impish line. You won't want to miss the other audio productions of McManus' works, including Never Sniff a Gift Fish and The Night the Bear Ate Goombaw. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
