Off the Side

Klappentext Jim Harrison the unforgettable journey of the writer who has established himself as one of our most important American voices. "Harrison moves through his life story like Kurt Vonnegut's Billy Pilgrim. ... His work conveys such a zest for life and the living. Imagine the ultimate gourmand, outdoorsman, raconteur and storyteller all wrapped in one messy, compassionate, energetic bundle. ... The result is a delight." Zusammenfassung Jim Harrison traces his upbringing in Michigan amid the austerities of the Depression and the Second World War, and the seemingly greater austerities of his starchy Swedish forebears. He chronicles his coming-of-age, from a boy drunk with books to a young man making his way among fellow writers he deeply admires.
