Just Before Dark

Here are twenty-five years of Harrison's essays and articles, from venues as diverse as Playboy and The Nation, Outside and the American Poetry Review. They explore the passions and concerns of a classic American writer: ice fishing and bar pool, nouvelle cuisine and night walks. "Somewhere in that big literary acreage staked out by Thoreau, Hemingway, and Hunter Thompson is a chunk of space for Jim Harrison" (Playboy).
