Description

All Jim Harrison's readers are familiar with his voracious appetite for good food, fine wines, and other earthly pleasures that pervade his work. Thanks to this "Sacré Gueuleton," even his most loyal fans will be surprised to discover the extent of his writings on the subject. Gathered for the first time in a single volume, these articles published throughout his career do not just celebrate the pleasures of the table. He is deliciously sharp when skewering the shortcomings of literary critics and wine experts, and fierce when mocking the blandness of taste and industrial food. Big Jim talks about gastronomy with the same fervor as when he discusses literature, politics, love of women, or love in general. Along the way, he shares recipes that are always delightful, sometimes unexpected, and displays a devastating humor towards all sorts of killjoys. Parents, friends, writers, politicians, and fictional characters intersect on the pages to compose a self-portrait of the wandering gourmet, a biography in the negative space of the author of "Dalva," "Legends of the Fall," and "The Old Saltimbanque." This book is a veritable literary feast that will satisfy all appetites.
