F. McManus, internationally recognized humorist, book author and
columnist for Outdoor Life magazine, has this to say in the foreword of Alan
Liere's recent book on Alaska outdoor humor entitled, Bear
Heads & Fish Tales.
"What's funny"? Nobody knows for sure, but I would venture
to say that it's that tiny, gritty bit of truth that produces the pearl of
laughter. I do not mean to imply that author Al Liere in any way resembles an
oyster. The man is a funny writer, which is the best thing you can say about a
humorist. I personally plan to buy a gross of Bear Heads & Fish
Tales. If we have another Great Depression, people will need
something to cheer them up, and I figure a copy of this book will be as good
as gold in the marketplace." --Patrick McManus--
Bear Heads & Fish Tales is a collection of zany outdoor
stories written by Alan Liere, Alaska's ambassador of mirth and humor to the
funny bone. Learn the techniques for smoking fish, Alaska-style, by burning
your neighbor's garage; what words to say to your oil pan while sleeping under
your car; tips on preparing wilderness gourmet meals such as Chicken Noodle
Salmon or Humpy Rainwater Soup; how to stuff a mature bull caribou into the
cargo space of a Subaru hatchback and much more.
"This book is for anyone who has ever wielded a fishing rod, a shotgun,
or a wiener stick,"says Liere. "It's for those who experience
deflated air mattresses, rubber rafts, and egos--sometimes all on the same
outing . Bear Heads & Fish Tales is for anyone who
believes in that fine line between tragedy and comedy and knows with all their
heart that maturity is highly overrated."
