No current Talk conversations about this book. these are the memoirs of a CBC on-air personality, who was quite popular in the 1950 -60's. I think this book is of only historical interest at this later time. ( ) There have been complaints about how today's boomerang kids are simply refusing to grow up. This whole book is about a bunch of grown Canadian Broadcasting Corporation radio announcers who, over fifty years ago, refused or forgot to grow up. They behave disgracefully anyway and my heart goes out to their long-suffering wives. However, reading about it is a hoot and this is on my list of funniest books ever. To support this, And now...here's Max won the Stephen Leacock Medal for Humour in Canada. If that doesn't convince you, try (just try) to read Max Ferguson's account of the campaign to sabotage a Maritime CBC radio programme named Harmony Harbour without snickering... This book always makes me laugh. I remember rushing home from high school to listen to Max and Alan McFee and late night essays written to McFee's Eclectic Circus. A nostalgic remnant of a long gone time in Canadian broadcasting when the CBC was smaller and the characters who worked there were larger. no reviews | add a review
