"The first book by Jim Harrison that I read was "The Woman Lit by Fireflies" which is a series of short stories. The novel, "Dalva" was the next and now I just finished the sequel, written many years after Harrison finished "Dalva" and I'm pretty sure Jim Harrison is up there with the greats as a writer. He is quietly profound and I finished "The Road Home" with a sense of appreciation and comfort for all the things he showed me. I am continuing on my Jim Harrison kick with "The English Major"."
"My first Harrison novel and very graceful at that. There is more story in these 400 plus pages than other authors can manage in the same space. I attribute this to the authors mastery of the language and ability to prescribe words that evoke the proper imagery. Many authors spend a lot of time over describing what you the reader should be seeing instead of letting your mind feed on the words given to them and seeing it for yourself. Harrison tells the road home from four main characters who are interrelated but have very different forms of home. This was a concept that was lost on me as I became engaged to each character and their stories. A worthwhile read that makes the reader reflect and embrace their own lives."
"It's just incredible. I dont have time right now to review it but he's just my very favorite writer. I wish I knew him. He's simply wonderful. He should be getting a nobel prize for literature. When I read Blindness between two of his books I was just shaking my head in disbelief. This man trumps them all. Truly insightful with important urgent things to say, a liquid sense of language. Erudite to the point of tears. I love this man and I love this book and I love Dalva. Juniper is next. Oh and his poetry is heartbreakingly beautiful."
