Product Description

The first general nonfiction title in thirty years from a giant of American letters, The Search for the Genuine is a sparkling, definitive collection of Jim Harrison's essays and journalismsome never before published
New York Times bestselling author Jim Harrison (1937-2016) was a writer with a poet's economy of style and trencherman's appetites and ribald humor.
In The Search for the Genuine, a collection of new and previously published essays, the giant of letters muses on everything from grouse hunting fishing to Zen Buddhism and matters of the spirit, including reported pieces on Yellowstone and shark-tagging in the open ocean, commentary on writers from Bukowski to Neruda to Peter Matthiessen, and a heartbreaking essay on life and, for those attempting to cross in the ever-more-dangerous gaps, deathon the US/Mexico border.
Written with Harrison's trademark humor, compassion, and full-throated zest for life, this chronicle of a modern bon vivant is a feast for fans who may think they know Harrison's nonfiction, from a true "American original" (San Francisco Chronicle).

Review

Praise for The Search for the Genuine:
Harrison may be gone, but his writing speaks to a force larger than life: it continues to teach and inform years later, which is all a writer could ever really dream of. Literary Hub
Spanning 45 years, this new bevy of essays and musings bursts with insight, adventure, and well-lived experiences . . . his writing is always and truly genuine. Forthright, perpetually curious, and compassionate, Harrison remains wholly compelling and readers will be grateful that this buoyant, observant, and caring writer took time away from his sublime poetry to create these enriching essays. Booklist, starred review
Endlessly charming . . . An essential installment in the Harrison canon.Kirkus Reviews, starred review
Harrison devotees will eat this up.Publishers Weekly, starred review
A rollicking but sentimental tribute to a life wholly lived.CJ Lotz, Garden & Gun
Harrisons poetic voice and storytellers gift are strong in each of these pieces. With sections on writing and writer friends; hunting and hunting dogs; Michigan, Montana, and other favorite haunts; and, of course, fishing, the book makes the reader feel like they are sitting on the next barstool, listening to a master raconteur weave his tales. Harrisons voice is, as always, filled with such a passion for living that its difficult to believe hes gone. This collection is a welcome addition to the disbelief. Marc Beaudin, Big Sky Journal
[The] great chronicler of America and her natural beauty . . . [Harrison] lived a singular life, a true American original, and The Search for the Genuine offers a glimpse into a life lived on the margins but at the center of what matters. Alex Perez, Return
Over the course of his long career as a writer, Jim Harrison wrote eloquently about the American outdoors in countless ways. The Search for the Genuine assembles 45 years worth of his nonfiction, covering subjects ranging from Yellowstone National Park to searching for sharks. Looking for a lyrical, meditative take on the grandest subjects out there? Look no further. Tobias Carroll, InsideHook
Rich with Harrisons consummate humor and characteristic empathy.Jana Hoops, Jackson Clarion-Ledge
Harrison was one of Americas most genuine writers and his Search ruminates about love, literature, hunting, fishing, border life and the magic of place.Bruce Dinges, Arizona Daily Star
You will see the world in a different light and soon realize you are reading the work of a genius. Many readers will also learn he was a lot like you (and me). Bill Castanier, CityPulse
The Harrison who emerges here is recognizable, but also useful, reminding readers of the value of curiosity and range, whether in miles or mindset. Glen Young, Petoskey News-Review

Praise for Jim Harrison:
Among the most indelible American novelists of the last
