Long description
"If I can you can" is a rollicking, true story of mind blowing success and dismal failure. It is a tale of happiness and heartbreak which drifts from the cut-throat competitiveness of sport played at international level to the unexpected tenderness and sensitivity of a group of Chilean prostitutes. It tells of the thoughts that pass through the mind of a seventeen year old boy while he struggles to keep the camp fire burning in order to keep predators at bay in the dead of night in the African bush. It is about the excitement of spearing large game fish in open, unprotected waters where you never know when you are going to come eyeball to eyeball with a large cruising shark. It is also about the indescribable feeling of pride at winning the national junior boxing title after an unfulfilled childhood. Then there is the story of Betsy, the little bantam hen who, even though she was shaking with fear, was prepared to put herself out as bait for the circling hawk in order to save the lives of her chickens and about the incredible bond of friendship between Mulligan, a massive seventy-five pound Bull Terrier and Pissycat, a petite black Manx queen.
