McManus's gently comic stories about outdoor life have earned him millions of fans worldwide. With <i>Kerplunk!</i>, McManus delivers a collection of folksy, wonderfully wise depictions of country life worthy of Mark Twain.</b> <p/>In these tall tales, McManus and his buddies learn how not to net a fish, why you should never get your hair cut by someone who's mad at you, what to do when a deer wanders into camp but your sleeping bag has frozen shut, and how to avoid bird-dog flatulence. <p/> Traveling the highways and byways of the Pacific Northwest, the delightful backcountry characters of <i>Kerplunk!</i> understand how a life of hunting and fishing -- and its inherent potential for misadventure -- can resonate with larger meaning. McManus's characters know exactly why it costs $500 to make a fly lure that retails for $2; why installing a boat trailer hookup can lead to divorce; and, most important, why you should always listen for the sound of your fishing line hitting the water -- because in life as it is in fishing, you don't know you're in the water until you hear the kerplunk! <p/> These wry, curmudgeonly tales appeal to real outdoorsmen and the armchair variety alike. Often nostalgic, occasionally philosophical, and always funny, the stories in <i>Kerplunk!</i> reaffirm Patrick F. McManus's reputation as an American classic.
