And Now We Shall Do Manly Things

di Craig Heimbuch (Autore)

William Morrow Paperbacks, 2012

Craig Heimbuch, urban dad, journalist, and editor-in-chief of manofthehouse.com offers readers a humorous exploration of hunting culture in And Now We Shall Do Manly Things. Outdoors enthusiasts, fans of A.J. Jacobs's The Know-It-All and the Bill Bryson classic, A Walk in the Woods will appreciate Heimbuch's aspirations to better understand the men in his family by immersing himself for one year in the manly art of hunting. A book that explores with great wit and open-hearted appreciation the ideal of traditional masculinity, And Now We Shall Do Manly Things demonstrates that it is possible to be both a hunter and a modern American man. But what happens when a guy who’s more comfortable with a keyboard than a shotgun tries to earn his place in a hunting legacy? A Reluctant Outdoorsman: Heimbuch, a self-professed “urban dad,” spends a year attempting to master the manly art of hunting—with predictably hilarious and heartfelt results. Midwestern Humor: Fans of Bill Bryson and A.J. Jacobs will love this witty, self-deprecating journey through the fields of Iowa and the complexities of Midwestern family culture. Modern Masculinity: A thoughtful and funny look at what it means to be a man today, exploring the line between traditional masculinity and a modern, suburban identity. Family Legacy: More than just a hunting trip, this is one man’s quest to understand his father, his uncles, and the family traditions that shaped them.
