Un sacré gueuleton : manger, boire & vivre (French edition) by Jim Harrison

A Really Big Lunch by Jim Harrison is a true literary feast for lovers of fine dining and wine. Known for his insatiable appetite, Jim Harrison has always made gastronomy and the pleasures of the table an integral part of his work. In this book, readers will discover a unique compilation of articles written over the decades, in which Harrison fervently and humorously celebrates the pleasures of life.

Literary critics and wine experts are not spared his sharp gaze. Harrison, with a sharp and often humorous pen, relentlessly criticizes industrial food and the dulling of taste in modern society. Throughout the book, he shares surprising recipes, often generous and always full of character, revealing his love for simplicity and quality.

Jim Harrison's recipes are not just culinary instructions: they reflect his philosophy of life. Whether he speaks of his friends, his family, politics, or love, his stories exude a deep humanity and a witty humor. Each page is imbued with his free spirit and refusal to conform to norms.

Through this book, readers will experience an autobiography in hollow, where real and fictional characters intersect, like the heroes of his famous works Dalva, Legends of the Fall, and The Ancient Minstrel. Jim Harrison reveals himself here not only as an insatiable gourmand but also as a critical observer of contemporary society.

This collection is much more than a simple tribute to gastronomy. It is a reflection on life, simple pleasures, and a scathing critique of everything that detracts from the essence of good things. Whether for his philosophical reflections or his savory recipes, this book will satisfy all appetites, whether literary or culinary.

A Really Big Lunch is an essential work for lovers of literature and gastronomy, but also for those who seek to savor life in all its richness. Through his words, Jim Harrison turns every dish, every glass of wine, into a moment of contemplation and happiness.
