Title: The Natural Man by Ed McClanahan ISBN: 0-917788-56-7 Publisher: Gnomon Press Pub. Date: September, 1993 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $13.50 |

Rating: 5
Summary: So happy this book has been reprinted
Comment: If he upped his output, Ed McClanahan could be the Faulkner of the Midwest. He can certainly run-on a sentence like the Laureate of Yoknapatawpha could, only using it more sparingly.
This book is a lot funnier ... probably owing to the geography as much as the subject matter -- growing up male, insecure, and horny in small-town southern north central Kentucky, on the cusp of television and Masters and Johnson. I split a gut every time I read my copy from the first paperback printing.
Rating: 5
Summary: Historically Informed and Uproarious
Comment: This is one of those memorable books that will have you constantly laughing. And what makes it so memorable is that it's a veritable encyclopedia of "off-color" popular culture of the '50's. You will find hundreds of ancient raunchy jokes imbedded in the text as well as side-splitting acounts of the prissy mores of that time. What's striking is how innocent it all seems--what was considered offensive back then is virtually G-rated next to something like Eminem. A wonderful read.
Rating: 5
Summary: A first-rate laugh riot
Comment: As the other reviews attest, this is a very funny novel. And my only question, after reading it a dozen times since it's publishing date, is: how come some smarty-pants hasn't seen fit to make it into a movie?
