Where in the Hell is Sourdough: Tales of Mischief, Males, and Mayhem

by Josef Chmielowski, Evan E Swensen (Foreword)

Ever eat a rabbit turd? Ever urinate on your brother's head? Ever use an outhouse at fifty below? Josef Chmielowski has. Not only that, but this sourdough from Sourdough has survived countless other entertaining situations, many of which are retold in this vivacious volume. Josef's collection of humorous short stories successfully captures the essence of daily routine on an Alaskan homestead, and investigates the undeniable link between mischief, males, and mayhem.

This is a quick and entertaining read that left me nostalgic for summers and holidays spent running amok in and around our family cabin. In retrospect, it’s amazing we all survived and it’s (just a bit) sad our kids will likely live a milder, more sanitized version of childhood.

Joe's humorous recounting of his family's life in Alaska was over the top and silly at times but I did like it. I even laughed out loud a couple of times.

[Patrick Meehan]

Suspend belief.

My brother-in-law wrote a hilarious book about family adventures growing up on the homestead. A good read!
