"Loons in the Kitchen," published 11/1/2000, quickly established itself as the most-popular book on the Northern Plains, selling out six weeks after publication and prompting another press run. Tony Bender's 'Loons' continues to touch and tickle. The success of the book might have been a surprise to some and maybe to Bender himself, but not to his legions of loyal readers of his syndicated column. The Bismarck Tribune called Bender "blisteringly funny" and he is. He is wry, irreverent and daring, poking fun at Midwestern ways and getting away with it because he is clearly a creature of the Plains. "The Redhead's Tractor," an acclaimed hilarious piece from 'Loons,' catapulted Bender to national recognition in 2001, winning a first-place prize for humor writing from the National Newspaper Association. "Loons in the Kitchen," subtitled Humorous and Poignant Short Stories From the Dakotas is published by Redhead Publishing in a 5x7.75 soft -over format. Full-color embossed cover, UV-coated, 192 pages. ISBN 0-9705442-0-0, © 11/1/2000. An autographed book is a great gift idea. Order a signed copy today!
