I Love Corn... A Comprehensive Guide To An Agricultural Passion That Is Fully Defensible In Any Context

In the land of corn, the narrator is a connoisseur. From corn hole to cream corn, from every variety to every preparation, there is nothing about corn that this narrator does not love with complete, documented enthusiasm. This is a book about corn. It covers the full range of corn experiences. It discusses corn hole with the enthusiasm of someone who has played the game many times and finds it deeply satisfying. It discusses cream corn. It discusses every aspect of corn that a corn enthusiast would want documented in illustrated form. There is nothing unusual about any of this.

This adult parody book operates in the space between two meanings with the confidence of a book that picked one and will defend it under any questioning. It is about corn. Agricultural corn. The kind that grows in fields. The enthusiasm is for the crop, the activities associated with the crop, and the various forms in which corn can be prepared and enjoyed. If you are reading something else into "cream corn" and "corn hole" and "loving corn," that is a you situation and the book declines to engage with it. The corn is delicious. That is the whole story.

This Book IS For:

• Adults who appreciate a book that commits to an agricultural theme while knowing exactly what it's doing with that commitment
• Fans of humor that relies on the reader doing 100% of the interpretive work while the book maintains total innocence
• Anyone who has found themselves in a professional setting where the word "corn hole" required a reaction they had to manage carefully
• Gift-givers who want to hand someone something that looks completely innocent and is not innocent in any way that can be proven

This Book Is NOT For:

• Actual corn farmers who feel this is not the agricultural representation their industry needs right now
• People who play corn hole competitively and feel the game name has already generated enough unintended humor without a book
• Readers who want their books about beloved vegetables to be straightforwardly about beloved vegetables
• Anyone who is going to read this at a family gathering where the full age range is present and has not planned accordingly

Appropriate For:

• Summer parties, barbecues, and any outdoor event where corn hole is being played and the timing is perfect
• White elephant exchanges where handing someone a book about corn will take ten seconds to land and then be unable to be put down
• Bachelorette parties, because "cream corn" is going to come up eventually and this contextualizes it beautifully
• Gifts for anyone who has ever lost their composure at the phrase "corn hole" in a professional setting

Corn is the most versatile crop in the American agricultural landscape. It is in your food, your fuel, your building materials, your recreational games, and now your gift budget.

Buy it for someone who will immediately understand. Buy it for someone who won't understand immediately and then will. The land of corn is waiting. The connoisseur is enthusiastic.
