NATURE BOOK OF THE YEAR Sequel to the authorâs new book, The Waters Between Us (Lyons, March, 2021), about growing up loving the woods and fields and streams of his native Massachusetts and wanting since boyhood to live like a mountain man in the woods. Having acquired a forest cabin in the course of the first book, Thereâs a Porcupine in my Outhouse details his further adventures hunting and fishing far from other humans. PRAISE FOR THEREâS A PORCUPINE IN MY OUTHOUSE âThis is the way natural history should be taughtâby a good storyteller with a sense of humor.â âAudubon Magazine âTougias recounts his experiences with candor and humor. He blends the adventures of Lewis and Clark with the vision of John Muir.â âCape Cod Times âA very funny memoir. Tougias learned from his cabin experience and today he is one of New Englandâs leading nature writers.â âBook Views âThis is an honest book that asks us to admit our ignorance of much of the natural process and our fears of all those unknown things that âgo bump in the nightâ when we visit friends in the country. Tougias tempers each small disaster with good humor and a growing love for a world that he at first finds completely foreign, but which he ultimately realizes he cannot part with.â âBill Eddy, author of The Other Side of the World Here are Michael Tougiasâ adventures at a tiny A-frame cabin in Northern Vermont where he learns that nature has a way of becoming our instructor. This funny, honest, and personal account is the perfect book for anyone who loves the outdoors and loves to laugh.
