Todd Goddard and Jamie Harrison Potenberg Discuss the Life and Legacy of Iconic American author Jim Harrison

  • Eagle Harbor Book Co. 157 Winslow Way East Bainbridge Island, WA, 98110 United States (map)

"Harrison, the iconic American poet, novelist, gourmand, outdoorsman, and larger‑than‑life literary force behind Legends of the Fall, Dalva, and True North remains one of the most versatile and authentic voices in contemporary American literature. Often mentioned alongside Ernest Hemingway and William Faulkner, Harrison is beloved for his rare ability to bridge high‑art poetry with gritty, muscular storytelling, and for the reverent, almost spiritual way he wove the American landscape into his work.

His literary legacy is one product of his outsized personal life – his complicated relationships with key people, deep friendships with other authors and artists, legendary appetites for food, drink, and travel experiences, and his focus on the natural world – all detailed in this important biography.

Todd will be joined in conversation by Jamie Harrison Potenberg, Jim Harrison’s daughter and an acclaimed writer in her own right. Together, they’ll explore Harrison’s writing, legacy, and the extraordinary life that shaped both."
