A Good Day to Die

A Good Day to Die

<div><B>“Mr. Harrison’s perceptions are jagged and cutting . . . a remarkably well-plotted story.”—Christopher Lehmann-Haupt, <I>The New York Times</I></B><BR><BR>The <I>New York Times</I> bestselling author of thirty-nine books of fiction, non-fiction, and poetry—including <I>Legends of the Fall</I>, <I>Dalva</I>, and <I>Returning to Earth</I>—Jim Harrison was one of our most beloved and acclaimed writers, adored by both readers and critics. His novel A Good Day to Die centers on an unlikely trio: a poet with a tendency to lapse into beatific reveries of superb fishing in cold, fast streams; a Vietnam vet consumed by uppers, downers, and violence; and a girl who loved only one of them—at first. With plans conceived during the madness of one long drunken night, the three of them leave Florida, driving west to buy a case of dynamite, determined to save the Grand Canyon from a dam they believe is about to be built. <I>A Good Day to Die</I> is an unrelenting tour de force, and a dark exploration of what it means to live beyond the pale in contemporary America.<BR></div>
