Beyond.


Devouring Time: Jim Harrison, A Life explores Harrison's astonishing career, his 21 volumes of fiction, including Legends of the Fall and Dalva, and 14 books of poetry that helped to shape the course of contemporary American literature. As Will Blythe wrote in The New York Times, Harrison’s “books glisten with love of the world, and are as grounded as Thoreau’s in the particulars of American place—its rivers and thickets, its highways and taverns.” The late critic Alan Cheuse, writing for The Chicago Tribune, labeled Harrison “a national treasure.” 

This book moves beyond the “legend” of Jim Harrison. It explores the emotional nuances of his many relationships, his intellectual depths, his volcanic passions, and his seemingly boundless appetites, with an eye always to the abundant connections between life and work.

Thanks, Ors.
