    Patrick F. McManus è un autore americano celebre per le sue interpretazioni umoristiche della vita all'aria aperta. Le sue rubriche, apparse su riviste come Outdoor Life e raccolte in numerosi libri, offrono una prospettiva distintiva e arguta sulle avventure all'aperto.

La sua scrittura attrae i lettori che apprezzano l'umorismo gentile e un profondo affetto per la natura.

    The Good Samaritan Strikes Again
    They Shoot Canoes, Don't They?
    • 1992

      With “a style that brings to mind Mark Twain, Art Buchwald, and Garrison Keillor” ( People ), Patrick F. McManus delivers another stellar collection of witty cautionary tales of the great outdoors in The Good Samaritan Strikes Again .Gathering together twenty-four of his hilarious essays―originally published in such magazines as Outdoor Life ―this volume features not only McManus’s follies with Mother Nature, but those of human nature as he shares such funny moments of his life as his first kiss, his public relations career, his less than helpful attempt to be a good Samaritan to an injured motorist, and so much more.
