Conversations with Jim Harrison

release date: Jan 01, 2002

En route vers l'Ouest

release date: Jan 01, 2000
En route vers l'Ouest
Revoici Chien Brun dans de nouvelles aventures rocambolesques : quittant son Michigan natal, il part vers l''Ouest pour écumer Hollywood à la recherche de sa peau d''ours magique. Rencontres improbables (un scénariste qui ressemble comme deux gouttes d''eau à " Big Jim ", quelques starlettes affriolantes), quiproquos burlesques et dialogues hilarants dans " l''Usine à rêves " que l''auteur de La Route du retour connaît bien pour y avoir commis quelques scénarios. Suivent deux novellas émouvantes, où des hommes mûrs, sinon âgés, découvrent sur le tard qu''ils ont perdu leur vie à la gagner. L''érotisme rajeunit et sauve in extremis des " deux démons calvinistes que sont le travail et l''argent ". Et, si les voyages forment la vieillesse, pourquoi ne pas visiter Barcelone et Paris, plutôt que de s''encroûter dans ce " Disneyland fasciste " qu''est devenue l''Amérique ?

Un buon giorno per morire

release date: Jan 01, 1999

Lointains & Ghâzals

release date: Jan 01, 1999
Lointains & Ghâzals
Dans ce recueil de poèmes, Jim Harrison s''inspire d''une forme poétique persane très brève, le ghâzal. Mais ses notations personnelles elliptiques rappellent aussi par leur concision évocatrice le haïku japonais : voyages, amours éphémères, satoris bouddhistes, deuils, exploits gastronomiques, petits boulots, angoisse de vivre, tout est, pour l''auteur de Dalva, matière à écriture dans ces poèmes finalement très proches de l''univers de Kerouac et de Ginsberg.

The Theory & Practice of Rivers

The Theory & Practice of Rivers
From Library Journal: The long title sequence of Harrison''s seventh poetry collection is a journey upward from tragedy and unconsciousness, a fitful amalgam of memory and myth, meditation and nightmare, lucidity and delirium. It''s the life-passing-before-one''s-eyes at the precipice of death rendered in tranquility. In "trying to become alert enough to live,'''' the narrator sinks and surfaces, clutching at vivid bits of psychic debris that collectively define "the longest journey taken in a split second.'''' Harrison combines the rustic, the portentous, and the wry ("I had forgotten what it was I liked/ about life. I hear if you own a chimpanzee/ they cease at a point to be funny'''') with mixed but often penetrating results.
