Summary:
Author Jim Harrison (1937-2016) was one of our most beloved writers, a muscular, brilliantly economic stylist with a salty wisdom. He also wrote some of the best essays on
food
around, earning praise as "the poet laureate of appetite" (Dallas Morning News). Published on the one-year anniversary of Harrison's death, here are many of his
food
pieces, tapping into his larger-than-life appetite with wit and verve. Jim Harrison's legendary gourmandise is on full display in A
Really
Big
Lunch
. From the titular New Yorker piece about a French
lunch
that went to thirty-seven courses, to pieces from Brick, Playboy, Kermit Lynch Newsletter, and more on the relationship between hunter and prey, or the obscure language of wine reviews, this is shot through with Harrison's keen delight in the pleasures of the senses. And between the lines the pieces give glimpses of Harrison's
life
over the last three decades. A literary delight that will satisfy every appetite. Author Jim Harrison is best known for his 1979 novella Legends of the Fall. His other works include The Woman Lit by Fireflies (1990), Julip (1994), The Beast God Forgot to Invent (2000), The Summer He Didn't Die (2005), The Farmer's Daughter (2009), The River Swimmer (2013), and The Ancient Minstrel (2016).
