PRLog -- Yellowknife NT, June 22, 2013 – A catchy title pushed NWT author Brian Nagel’s first book to #2 on AuthorsDen.com list of popular books today.
Let’s Forefoot da Sonovabitch tells true stories about growing up on a Saskatchewan family farm in the 1950s and 1960s. That catchy title comes from a true story about Nagel’s eccentric friends and neighbours catching a wild horse while drunk. Novelist Ken Mitchell, member of the Order of Canada, says Nagel’s “masterful collage of prairie stories walks off with all the honours. It’s a cross between W.O. Mitchell’s
Who Has Seen the Wind and Brent Butt’s
Corner Gas. Here is uproarious humour transfused with the pains of youthful discovery. It is funnier than Holden Caulfield, rich with the foibles and furies of prairie life on the Canadian plains.” Neil McKinnon, finalist for Stephen Leacock Humour Award, commented that Nagel“captures the grit, passion and humour of rural Saskatchewan as he draws us into the joys of family and a past that won’t let go. A born storyteller, he opens our eyes to another time when a tough life was managed with wit and wisdom.” What title might Nagel choose for a book set in the North?
Let’s Forefoot da Sonovabitch: True Stories from Southern Saskatchewan (192 pages, 50+ photos, $19.95, ISBN 9780978319250)
