In honor of this exciting development, I thought it might be fun to look at some of my favorite Bigfoot literature. I only know of two examples, but both are absolutely terrific.


Also, if you haven't read the books In Me Own Words: The Autobiography of Bigfoot, Me Write Book: It Bigfoot Memoir and Bigfoot: I Not Dead by Graham Roumieu, please do yourself a favor. (You can peek inside them on Amazon before buying them at your independent bookseller). Roumieu's drawings and words are both hilarious and heart-string-tuggers. Here's an example from Bigfoot's "Self Improve" list in I Not Dead:
Bigfoot got get more perfect.
Refine Bigfootocity. Pull together.

Think outside box. Lose ten pound.
Learn speak the French. Ballroom dance.
Demonstrate superior knowledge of
fine wine at dinner party in charming
non-pretentious manner.
Be Oscar Wilde of woods.
It so hard.

I'm all over that In Me Own Words book. Hilarious!
There's also a keen piece of fiction (nonfiction, now?) "The Cryptozoologist" by Tony Earley from the New Yorker. You can get to it via google or the New Yorker archives. Here's a teaser: "Rose respectfully turned down interview requests form four national news organizations regarding her single, probably menopausal foray into advocacy for the protection of Appalachian skunk apes."
Molly Gloss' novel Wild Life is another terrific piece of writing about bigfoot (about a bigfoot-type creature, anyway).
i'm still trying to figure out if "Sasquatch" is Bigfoot's name, or if that's the name of his species
