The main focus of their conversation related to Snyder's live, his involvement in Buddhism and nature Jim Harrison seemed to play a secondary role, asking questions and deferring to Gary Snyder's opinions, in such a retiring manner that one wonders why Snyder seemed to have a high opinion of him. He also was very widely read, making connections with obscure or historic writings, which surprised me since I knew his writing only from 2 popular novels. I will look for more from him.
