Richard Pocker
Art dealer, third generation picture framer, wildlife trapper, world traveler, received a Harvard education for twenty dollars, an outdoor forager, tobacco nursery farmer, custom cutlery hobbyist, and a real, honest to goodness, S.O.B.
Pocker’s collection of essays reflects a life of sweeping interests and observations. From the decline and fall of the pay toilet, being a reincarnated whale hunter, to how Oscar the Grouch got his name, and how his dog, Mr. Peabody was the only canine ever to receive a death notice in The New York Times, or his cross-country trip to the Alcan Highway in an attempt to drive to Alaska in a Ford Pinto. His stories illustrate how the best and the brightest can occasionally make hilarious mistakes and act like an idiot.
