New York Times bestselling author Jim Harrison was one of this countryâs most beloved writers, a muscular, brilliantly economic stylist with a salty wisdom. He also wrote some of the best essays on food. A Really Big Lunch collects many of his food pieces for the first timeâand taps into his larger-than-life appetite with wit and verve.
Jim Harrisonâs legendary gourmandise is on full display in this book, 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. A Really Big Lunch is shot through with Harrisonâs pointed comments and keen delight in the pleasures of the senses. And, between the lines, the pieces give glimpses of Harrisonâs life over the last three decades.
A Really Big Lunch is a literary delight that will satisfy every appetite.
