O man this collection of novellas was so much fun. Both Julip (pure wish fulfillment) and the Brown Dog story are fantastic: if Rabelais was a twentieth-century guy he's be Jim Harrison. Cheers! (

Unbelievably fantastic writing, so evocative and rich, and yet earthy, simple. I must scoop up all of his books, although I am not sure about the poetry, I've never been a big reader of poetry. It's a book of 3 novellas, that are very different from one another, but the strength of the writing is so powerful, so obiviously Harrison. I can see now why he's so admired, and look forward to more of his writing. (

Three stories by Harrison covering the familiar, Brown Dog in The Seven-Ounce Man, and the new in Julip. Though the meanderings of Brown Dog are always enjoyable to read it was Beige Dolorosa, the last of the stories, that made the collection. Another just past middle-age literati of some sort tries to put his life together as he deals with some extreme characters. He has written this before but Harrison's sense of place, style, and observations always makes it interesting for me. I thought the story was a dud after 10 or so pages but it worked well. All these people must be Harrison. (
