This was lovely. I wasn't aware of Todd Goddard's new book. Thanks for that. I love Jim Harrison's work beyond measure, though I struggled with how much I loved it due to the misogyny that only increased with time. He was good friends with friends of mine, so I was lucky enough to have shared two meals with him. He was brilliant and bawdy and kind and tender and funny and, of course, a mesmerizing storyteller who commanded the table. Here, too, he said some things I will never share in print.
Lord, this is a wonderful piece of writing. The frame of the girl Harrison stole was delivered so deftly, I was breathless. Thanks for this and for reminding me how much I loved Jim Harrison once (also Frederick Busch, for what it's worth). I am going to pick him up again. And I'll read anything you write, any time.
Thank you! Harrison is my favorite though I didn't discover him until right before he died. His words soothe and transport me. He also can be quite funny especially in the Brown Dog books. Wish I could have met himfor a drink or ten. Can't wait to read this book.
