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 and 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 on the US/Mexico border.

Their plans were conceived in a drunken excitement and resulted in more horror than any of them could have imagined. There was the poet able to retreat into beatific reveries of superb fishing in cold, fast streams; the Vietnam vet consumed by uppers, downers, and violence; and the girl who loved only one of them - at first. With their ideals ostensibly in order, they set out from Florida to save the Grand Canyon from a dam they believed was being built. Along with the tape deck for the car, the liquor, and the drugs, there was also a case of dynamite.

In September 1960, John Steinbeck and his poodle, Charley, embarked on a journey across America, from small towns to growing cities to glorious wilderness oases. Travels with Charley is animated by Steinbeck’s attention to the specific details of the natural world and his sense of how the lives of people are intimately connected to the rhythms of nature—to weather, geography, the cycles of the seasons. His keen ear for the transactions among people is evident, too, as he records the interests and obsessions that preoccupy the Americans he encounters along the way.

"Of the place where he had been a boy he had written well enough. As well as he could then." So thought a dying writer in an early version of The Snows of Kilimanjaro. The writer was, of course, Ernest Hemingway. The place was the Michigan of his boyhood, where he remembered himself as Nick Adams. The now-famous "Nick Adams" stories show a memorable character growing from child to adolescent to soldier, veteran, writer, and parent - a sequence closely paralleling the events of Hemingway's life.

In each of these ten unforgettable stories, Claire Vaye Watkins writes her way fearlessly into the mythology of the American West, utterly reimagining it.

Here are 14 new tales previously unpublished in book form. By turns mythic and realistic, farcical and tragic, ironic and moving, Boyle's stories have mapped a wide range of human emotions. The stories here reflect his maturing themes.

With their ideals ostensibly in order, they set out from Florida to save the Grand Canyon from a dam they believed was being built. Along with the tape deck for the car, the liquor, and the drugs, there was also a case of dynamite.

Early Harrison with emerging style
If this has been my first Harrison read I would have appreciated it more but I am already a dozen stories in before this. All the Harrison themes are revealed but not as polished as his later works. Relationships seem to be shallow and not developed probably due to the youthful less experienced writer. And may be due to my less than youthful ability to hear I had a struggle with the narrator’s propensity to audibly drop off many of theend of sentences in his maybe overly breathy style. For the novice Harrison reader I would recommend Wolf.

Amazing Book and Reading
"Wolf" is sort of a cross between Kerouac's "On the Road" and Bukowski's "Women." However, Jim Harrison's stories are better than Kerouac's and Jim Harrison doesn't get as depraved as Bukowski. Of the three, Kerouac's writing is the most polished. This is ironic when considering that Kerouac pretended to not rewrite any of his books, which is a lie. Harrison's writing can be a bit choppy. However, Mr. Chris Andrew Ciulla had the perfect delivery style that "smoothed-over" any difficult sentences. Will probably listen to this recording again in a few years. Also, it was really neat how Harrison started in Reed City, Michigan and then returned to Reed City at the end. In between, Michigan's Upper Peninsula, San Francisco, NYC, and other places. Later-on, I think that Mr. Harrison's prose is not so choppy; but, like I said, Mr. Ciulla's prefect delivery made everything understandable.
