Parks and Recreation actor Nick Offerman
shares his humorous fulminations on life, manliness, meat,
and much more in his first book.
Growing a
perfect moustache, grilling red meat, wooing a woman—who
better to deliver this tutelage than the always charming,
always manly Nick Offerman, best known as Parks and
Recreation’s Ron Swanson? Combining his trademark
comic voice and very real expertise in woodworking—he runs
his own woodshop—Paddle Your Own
Canoe features tales from Offerman’s
childhood in small-town Minooka, Illinois—“I grew up
literally in the middle of a cornfield”—to his theater days
in Chicago, beginnings as a carpenter/actor and the
hilarious and magnificent seduction of his now-wife Megan
Mullally. It also offers hard-bitten
battle strategies in the arenas of manliness, love, style,
religion, woodworking, and outdoor recreation, among many
other savory entrees.
A mix of amusing anecdotes,
opinionated lessons and rants, sprinkled with offbeat
gaiety, Paddle Your Own Canoe will not only
tickle readers pink but may also rouse them to put down
their smart phones, study a few sycamore leaves, and maybe
even hand craft (and paddle) their own canoes.
