PRLog -- Yellowknife NT, June 22, 2013 – A catchy title pushed a book about rural Saskatchewan to #2 on AuthorsDen.com list of popular books today.
Let’s Forefoot da Sonovabitch by Brain Nagel brings some ghost towns and old friends in Southern Saskatchewan back to life, telling true stories about growing up on the Nagel family farm near Crane Valley in the 1950s and 1960s. When Nagel’s eccentric friends and neighbours catch a wild horse while drunk, they’ve just “forefooted da sonovabitch.”
Ken Mitchell, member of Saskatchewan Order of Merit, 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.”
Let’s Forefoot da Sonovabitch: True Stories from Southern Saskatchewan (192 pages, 50+ photos, $19.95, ISBN 9780978319250)
