“Jim Harrison is the Henry Miller of food writing. His passion is infectious.”

Wall Street Journal

An Amazon Best Book of the Month for March 2017

Winner of the 2017 Voice Arts Award for Humor

A Shelf Awareness Best Book of 2017

New York Times bestselling author Jim Harrison was one of this country’s most beloved writers, a muscular, brilliantly economic stylist with a salty wisdom. He also wrote some of the best essays on food. 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 this book, from the titular New Yorker piece about a French lunch that went to thirty-seven courses, to pieces from Brick, Playboy, Kermit Lynch Newsletter, and more. A Really Big Lunch is shot through with Harrison’s pointed comments and keen delight in the pleasures of the senses. And, between the lines, the pieces give glimpses of Harrison’s life over the last three decades.

A Really Big Lunch is a literary delight that will satisfy every appetite.

    A must for food lovers

    Mr. Harrison’s tagline “Meditations on Food and Life from the Roving Gourmand” sets one’s expectation for both a food adventure and some tidbits of wisdom about living life to its fullest. Compiled of multiple food essays, anyone who likes food, and especially the unusual, will find the listening experience very rewarding. Couple that together with his musings on a colorful and fulfilling life as a writer of his own life where he shares his sorrows, love, lust, aging and gluttony. Enjoy, for here is a book that is full of appetizing dishes and good conversation to go along with it. Joe Barrett narrates and gives us his usual professional reading.
