Author Description

Justin Wilson, the world's greatest spinner of Cajun tales, and Howard Jacobs, a leading authority on Cajun dialects, combine their rare talents in this rollicking anthology of Cajun humor. For more than forty-five years the delight of audiences throughout the nation, humorist Wilson is without peer in his mastery of the distinctive Cajun patois and the storied Cajun joie de vivre. Nattily decked out in string ties, flop-brimmed Panama hat, and flaming red suspenders, and punctuating his stories with a booming "I ga-ron-tee!" Wilson projects authentic Cajun humor, instantly recognizable by all who have ever visited the Louisiana bayou country. Wilson, whose tales have been recorded on numerous best-selling albums, also is the author of More Cajun Humor, The Justin Wilson Cook Book, The Justin Wilson #2 Cookbook: Cookin' Cajun, The Justin Wilson Gourmet and Gourmand Cookbook, Justin Wilson's Outdoor Cooking with Inside Help, Justin Wilson's Cajun Fables, and Justin Wilson Looking Back: A Cajun Cookbook. Jacobs, who was a widely read columnist for nearly three decades with the New Orleans Times-Picayune, collaborated with Wilson on More Cajun Humor, also published by Pelican.
