Heimbuch had never even thought of owning a gun when, in his early thirties, he was given a twelve-gauge Winchester over-under shotgun by his father. The black sheep, so to speak, of his Midwestern family, Craig was possibly the only male Heimbuch never to have taken an animal. But now that he had a shotgun, he figured he might as well try it out, and in so doing, explore the meaning of manhood while getting closer to his hunting-enthusiast dad.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAnd Now We Shall Do Manly Things\u003c\/em\u003e is the witty, moving, and insightful story of one man's quest to free himself from the shackles of his domesticated suburban lifestyle by immersing himself for one year in the hunting culture his family has always cherished. Along the way Heimbuch learns what putting food on the table once entailed and what it means to be a man in America—and discovers that it's possible to be a committed father, a loving spouse, and a hunter without being mistaken for a gun-toting lunatic.\u003c\/p\u003e | \u003cp\u003e“A hilarious perspective on the culture of American hunting which would make Bill Bryson proud . . . enjoyable to hunting enthusiasts and those who have never ventured off the paved path.” - \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eSeattle Post-Intelligencer\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Entertaining seriocomic search for selfhood . . . well-illustrated lessons about the unexpected benefits of stepping outside comfortable workaday routines to get a clearer perspective on one’s potential as a human being.” - \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Sometimes funny, sometimes bittersweet, and always well-paced adventures.” - \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"William Morrow Paperbacks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44888117838053,"sku":"NP9780062197863","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780062197863.jpg?v=1730228195","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/and-now-we-shall-do-manly-things-discovering-my-manhood-through-the-great-and-notsogreat-american-hunt-isbn-9780062197863","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
