A Libertarian Walks Into a Bear
by Matthew Hongoltz-Hetling
Absolutely wild from beginning to end.
When scores of diehard Libertarians move to the small town of Grafton New Hampshire they have the noble goal of freeing it from all forms of government tyranny, like building permits, zoning laws, and fire departments. Chaos and problems ensue, not the least of which are epidemic numbers of wild, human fed, possibly dementia addled, black bears.
The author weaves the current (from around 2001-2016) bear based craziness with Grafton’s own unique history of iconoclasm and vociferous tax avoidance, dating back to the revolutionary war. A uniquely readable brand of dry humor, meticulous research, and numerous interviews make for a distinctive, constantly fascinating read.
