Description
For nearly forty years, Jim Harrison has been one of America's most beloved writers: now he has put pen to paper to write about his own life - a life that is the root of his wonderful fiction, and which he captures with a riveting directness and a delightful, peculiar music. He writes about his upbringing in Michigan; the austerities of life amid the Depression and the Second World War; the seemingly greater austerities of his starchy Swedish forebears; and how a boy from the "heartland" somehow ended up a highly paid Hollywood screenwriter and world-renowned novelist.
