Patrick F. McManus je americký autor, který píše s humorem o pobytu v přírodě. Jeho sloupky, které se objevovaly v časopisech jako Outdoor Life, často shromažďované ve sbírkách, se vyznačují jedinečným pohledem na venkovní dobrodružství. McManus dokáže s lehkostí a vtipem zachytit absurditu i kouzlo života mimo civilizaci. Jeho styl oslovuje čtenáře, kteří oceňují laskavý humor a lásku k přírodě.
In "They Shoot Canoes, Don't They?", Patrick F. McManus humorously explores the quirks of camping, hunting, and fishing. With anecdotes like Genghis Khan's chef discovering live bait and the hilarity of ice fishing, McManus combines wit and wisdom in outdoor adventures, making it a delightful read for nature enthusiasts.
With “a style that brings to mind Mark Twain, Art Buchwald, and Garrison Keillor” ( People ), Patrick F. McManus delivers another stellar collection of witty cautionary tales of the great outdoors in The Good Samaritan Strikes Again .Gathering together twenty-four of his hilarious essays―originally published in such magazines as Outdoor Life ―this volume features not only McManus’s follies with Mother Nature, but those of human nature as he shares such funny moments of his life as his first kiss, his public relations career, his less than helpful attempt to be a good Samaritan to an injured motorist, and so much more.
