Not brief but worth the investment.
A good story well told. Especially worth revisiting for those who feel choked or overwhelmed by today‘s world.

Reading too much Jim Harrison back to back might spoil the fun (he tends to reuse well-remembered turns of phrase). But there‘s something to his world view and voice that draws you in anyway. I‘ll go for the novellas and the poetry though True North is a worthy read. For fans of Hemingway who could use more emotion and feeling.
A gripping, unexpected read. You could knock this book out over a long weekend and you should.
Haven‘t read as many books this year as I meant to, but glad I was able to sketch out time for this one. Beautiful and haunting novel.
The highest praise that can be given to The Potlikker Papers is that it will have you thinking more about your food: where did it come from? Who cooked it? What does it mean that you‘re able to enjoy it today? While the book doesn‘t really live up to the end of its bargain as a full study on the etymology of southern food, it does paint a picture of a Southern food economy more complex than Black and White.
