About this listen

Jim Harrison's legendary gourmandise is on full display in A Really Big Lunch. From the titular New Yorker piece about a French lunch that went to 37 courses to pieces from Brick, Playboy, Kermit Lynch's newsletter, and others; from the relationship between hunter and prey to the obscure language of wine reviews, A Really Big Lunch is shot through with Harrison's pointed aperçus and keen delight in the pleasures of the senses. And between the lines, the pieces give glimpses of Harrison's life over the last three decades. A Really Big Lunch is a literary delight that will satisfy every appetite.

Narration is bizarre

Love this book, but the narrator uses a strange fake accent that made it impossible for me to listen to. I lasted about 30 minutes.

Not for me

I stopped listening after a few chapters. A bit angry, mainly just would probably resonate better with a male audience. I couldn’t relate.
