�Mr. Harrison's perceptions are jagged and cutting . . . a remarkably well-plotted story."�Christopher Lehmann-Haupt, The New York Times The New York Times bestselling author of thirty-nine books of fiction, non-fiction, and poetry�including Legends of the Fall, Dalva, and Returning to Earth�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. A Good Day to Die is an unrelenting tour de force, and a dark exploration of what it means to live beyond the pale in contemporary America. Returning Harrison fans will be ecstatic to find this in print once again, and for new readers, this work serves as the perfect introduction to Harrison's remarkable insight, storytelling, and evocation of the natural world.

This story is a bit adolescent compared to Harrison's later work, and depends too much on a thin plot followed by addled characters to no great end. But readers who enjoy Brown Dog and the obsessed sport fishermen in JH's better fiction won't be too disappointed to see how far the Harrison recipe for interestingly extreme entertainment has come since this earlier story. An unreliable narrator fairly well acquainted with his own character defects makes for a pretty good story-telling companion for a while.
