"I read this in my late teens, and despite a crush on Brad Pitt at the time, I really liked these three novellas. I haven't read them since, but I remember the writing to be really good. This was in my Dostoyevsky reading period, so they really can't be THAT bad if that's what I was comparing them to. ;)"
"Apparently I haven't been paying attention. I didn't realize this was a trilogy of short stories until I bought it at my local used bookstore after seeing an interview with Jim Harrison. Lovely surprise!
Undeniably masculine in his writing, Harrison still manages to get to that ever-so-feminine place in our psyche where questions of love, responsibility, self, etc. reside.
The primary characters here are men and collectively they are exceedingly virile. Still, even as they grapple with revenge, lust, pride...really, the full gamut of compelling quandaries, the personalities surpass any one-dimensionality of say, your typical detective novel hero. These guys suffer and they revel and they (gasp) grow and it's all very beautiful dropped as it is into the vivid and almost tangible settings Harrison creates.
This will definitely send me in search of other Harrison works."
"This is another one of those books that I made the mistake of seeing the movie first. Again, didn't know the book existed. However, I think if I had read the book first, I never would have bothered with the movie. The book is actually a novella. I picked it up as part of a collection of 3 of Jim Harrison's works. After reading this and another Jim Harrison piece, I conclude that I am simply not a fan of Harrison's writing style. I thought that Legends could have appealed to me, but it was written in such a dull manner that I found myself trudging through it. I do not like to trudge through anything I read! The best part of the story was actually the physical descriptions that were given about the land. My husband I and read this together and we both thought it was impressive and beautiful. It seems such a shame to waste such wonderful description on the scenery when the characters and their relationships, particularly to Tristan and Tristan's growth throughout the story, are the primary focus. The movie really took this small piece and ran with it! I will take the movie over the book any day! Besides, with all those pretty faces, who wouldn't mind a little visual stimulation? ;-)"
