Description

Jim Harrison's memoir is a deeply personal and beautifully written account of his life. Born in Michigan during the Depression, Harrison recounts his childhood and coming-of-age amidst the challenges of his family's Swedish heritage. As he navigates the complexities of adulthood, Harrison reflects on the seven obsessions that have shaped his life: alcohol, food, stripping, hunting and fishing, religion, the road, and our place in the natural world. With characteristic earthiness and elegance, he explores these passions and how they inform his writing and worldview. Through his story, Harrison offers a unique perspective on the writing life and the human experience, revealing the connections that bind us to ourselves, others, and the world around us.
