      About the Book

      Patrick F. McManus's gently comic stories about outdoor life have earned him millions of fans worldwide. With "Kerplunk ," McManus delivers a collection of folksy, wonderfully wise depictions of country life worthy of Mark Twain.

      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.

      Traveling the highways and byways of the Pacific Northwest, the delightful backcountry characters of "Kerplunk " 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

      These wry, curmudgeonly tales appeal to real outdoorsmen and the armchair variety alike. Often nostalgic, occasionally philosophical, and always funny, the stories in "Kerplunk " reaffirm Patrick F. McManus's reputation as an American classic.
