Read our review of the print edition of ‘Where the Deer and the Antelope Play. Offerman infuses this refreshing take on America’s environmental and social landscapes with disarming humor, and his husky voice is a perfect invitation to the great outdoors. Tales of pit stops, gear purchases and dangerous falls give the book a gritty, grassroots feel. Where the Deer and the Antelope Play: The Pastoral Observations of One Ignorant American Who Loves to Walk Outside by Nick Offerman 2. A literary journey to America’s frontier inspired by three journeys Nick has taken in the recent pastone a hiking trip with friends George Saunders and Jeff Tweedy, one in the farms of Illinois and in the UK with famed shepherd James Rebanks, and one in an Airstream trailer with his wife, MeganNick Offerman’s new narrative exploration of nature and the outdoors and the outdoors will. He does so by way of three excursions: hiking in Glacier National Park with friends George Saunders and Jeff Tweedy visiting British author Jeff Rebanks’ sheep farm and traveling cross-country in an Airstream with his wife, actor Megan Mullally. Instead of gazing upon pristine sights, Offerman’s project entails getting dirty, digging into the past and infusing daily life (including social media) with the gifts of the wilderness. The book is a response to a challenge put to Offerman by agrarian philosopher Wendell Berry in 2018: to experience nature more like Aldo Leopold than John Muir. Best known for his role as Ron Swanson on “Parks and Recreation,” Nick Offerman offers an escape from the grind with his latest audiobook, Where the Deer and the Antelope Play: The Pastoral Observations of One Ignorant American Who Loves to Walk Outside (11.5 hours).
