´The late Jim Harrison was one of the true greats when it came to writing about food. He combined an attention to detail with a glorious prose style and a massive appetite... A must read.´ - Observer

New York Times bestselling author Jim Harrison was one of America´s most beloved writers, a muscular, brilliantly economic stylist with a salty wisdom. He also wrote some of the best essays on food around, earning praise as ´the poet laureate of appetite´ (Dallas Morning News). A Really Big Lunch collects many of his food pieces for the first time - and taps into his larger-than-life appetite with wit and verve.

Jim Harrison´s legendary gourmandise is on full display in A Really Big Lunch. From the titular New Yorker piece about a French lunch that went to thirty-seven courses, to pieces from Brick, Playboy, the Kermit Lynch Newsletter and more on the relationship between hunter and prey, or the obscure language of wine reviews, A Really Big Lunch is shot through with Harrison´s pointed aper‡us and keen delight in the pleasures of the senses. And between the lines the pieces give glimpses of Harrison´s life over the last fifteen years. A Really Big Lunch is a literary delight that will satisfy every appetite.
