"As a rough rule, it seems that writers fall into two camps. There are those who delight in rousting the truth from its concealment amid pieties and convention. If they must strip-mine the world to expose its hypocrisy, they will do so, even if they leave a landscape barren of hope. Then there are those writers who prefer to remythologize life on earth, finding it rich with strange congruences and possibilities. Jim Harrison is a writer of the second type, and "Returning to Earth" is his extraordinary valediction to mourning. It sharpens one's appetite for life even at its darkest."

My best girlfriend is a Jim Harrison fanatic but I've not yet read his books. Which one should I start with? She has them all, and she's my roommate, so I've got easy access. ;)

My favorite book (of all fiction, not just Harrison's) is "The Road Home."
