Descriere magazin:
Back in 1981, publisher Ed Danner took a chance, hiring Nancy Besonen, a rookie reporter from Chicago\'s South Side, for his weekly newspaper, the L\'Anse Sentinel . Her humor column, Off the Hook, was ostensibly all about fishing, but she quickly cut loose, writing about anything relevant to life, especially in the Michigan\'s Upper Peninsula, as long as it made her readers smile. There\'s something for everyone with a strong sense of the ridiculous: Ask Miss Demeanor, Life\'s a Breach and Baldness: A Growing Concern. Also, We Make Hay, Men Are from Mud and a particularly sensitive piece, I\'m Poopeye the Sailor Mom. From Michigan\'s tiniest predator, the no-see-um, to life\'s biggest challenges, like trying to fly into or out of the U.P., Besonen\'s on the beat. Nancy Besonen\'s weekly columns in the L\'Anse Sentinel always made me smile, or chuckle and, quite often, even snort with mirth. Besonen connects so well with our quirky Yooper culture and its priorities. Her perspective of our everyday lives is hilarious and reminiscent of the late Erma Bombeck. -- Terri Martin, author and U.P. Notable Book Award recipient A veteran journalist, Nancy Besonen has a wonderful gift for sweet and tangy, humorous writing and storytelling. She uses visual, nuanced language to paint portraits of Michigan\'s Upper Peninsula\'s people, places and events, infusing culture, history and geography. Her colorful tales, filled with wit, action, twists and turns, are a must read for those in Michigan (and beyond), as she inspires us all to think about our own life journeys. -- Martha Bloomfield, award-winning author, oral historian, artist and poet Besonen, a gifted journalist who moved north from Chicago for the fishing and brought with her a deep sensibility for the U.P, both teaches and inspires. This is true nonfiction at its best, both wit and investigative journalism. I am glad she collects it here. -- Mack Hassler, former professor of English, Kent State University From Modern History Press www.ModernHistoryPress.com
