Description

'The late Jim Harrison was one of the true greats when it came to writing about food.

He combined an attention to detail with a glorious prose style and a massive appetite...

A must read.' - ObserverNew York Times bestselling author Jim Harrison was one of America's 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).

A Really Big Lunch collects many of his food pieces for the first time - and taps 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, the Kermit Lynch Newsletter and more on the relationship between hunter and prey, or the obscure language of wine reviews, A Really Big Lunch is shot through with Harrison's pointed aperçus and keen delight in the pleasures of the senses. And between the lines the pieces give glimpses of Harrison's life over the last fifteen years.

A Really Big Lunch is a literary delight that will satisfy every appetite.
