(From the back cover) Mario Batali said of this writer "Jim Harrison is the Homer, the Michelangelo, the Lamborghini, the Willie Mays, the Secretariat of words...his words are the lust-filled poems of an expert, a hunter, an eater."
This is a guy's book of hunting, cooking, eating, and name dropping of famous people (he is also a screenwriter for Hollywood). A very different kind of "food" book!

Jim Harrison's essays are just great. He has a passion for real food, as opposed to "zoo food" fed to us animals by corporate agri-businesses and Macfranchises. And he recommends lots of red wine, as all the doctors are telling us now anyway. A great read.
