About the Author:
They were an unlikely trio: a poet with a tendency to lapse into beatific reveries of superb fishing in cold, fast streams, a Vietnam veteran consumed by uppers, downers and violence and a girl who loved only one of them – at first. With plans conceived during the madness of one long drunken night, the three of them leave Florida, driving west to buy a case of dynamite, determined to save the Grand Canyon from a dam they believe is about to be built. 'A Good Day to Die', Harrison's second work of fiction, is an unrelenting 'tour de force'; a dark exploration of what it means to live beyond the pale in contemporary America.
"A writer with immortality in him."
BERNARD LEVIN
"I found myself racing along, utterly caught up in the momentum of the story and eager to find out how it would turn out ... Mr Harrison's perceptions are jagged and cutting ... a remarkably well-plotted story."
NEW YORK TIMES
"Beneath his beautiful, deceptively simple language lie deeper truths than can only be hinted at with words."
PUBLISHERS' WEEKLY
"'A Good Day to Die' speaks with absolute accuracy to and about its generation."
MARGARET ATWOOD
Also available in Flamingo: 'Wolf, Legends of the Fall, The Woman Lit by Fireflies'.
James "Jim" Harrison (1937–2016) was an American writer known for his poetry, fiction, essays, and food writing. He is best known for his 1979 novella Legends of the Fall. His work has been compared to Faulkner and Hemingway.
