Résumé:
Critiques
Synopsis de l’éditeur
"Devotees of Sasquatchiana won't be disappointed." - New York Times Book Review "Buhs is at his amused best when following the exploits of Bigfoot's human handlers - the colorful band of true believers, hoaxers and pseudo-documentarists who constructed this greatest of all shaggy-hominid stories." - Publishers Weekly "The value of Buhs's book is in its synthesizing of the many historical Bigfoot/Sasquatch stories into one readable narrative... summing-up of the state of Bigfoot research and belief today." - Globe and Mail "Proceeding era by era and place by place, Buhs evaluates the stories of encounters with the giant creatures, deconstructs hoaxes, and evaluates genuine studies in service of tracking down the truth." - Booklist "Buhs traces the journey between these perceptions of elusive wild men and discovers a story of twentieth-century shifts in American culture and class. Bigfoot was both a product of the postwar ascendance of mass culture and a reaction to it, capturing the imagination of those who longed to 'touch the really real behind the false front of consumer goods and scientific arrogance.'" - New Yorker" Lire la suite...
