Praise for The Search for the Genuine:

"Harrison may be gone, but his writing speaks to a force larger than life: it continues to teach and inform years later, which is all a writer could ever really dream of." --Literary Hub

"Spanning 45 years, this new bevy of essays and musings bursts with
insight, adventure, and well-lived experiences . . . his writing is always and
truly 'genuine.' Forthright, perpetually curious, and compassionate, Harrison
remains wholly compelling and readers will be grateful that this buoyant,
observant, and caring writer took time away from his sublime poetry to create
these enriching essays." --Booklist, starred review

"Harrison devotees will eat this up."--Publishers Weekly, starred review

"A rollicking but sentimental tribute to a life wholly
lived."--CJ Lotz, Garden & Gun

"Harrison's
poetic voice and storyteller's gift are strong in each of these pieces. With
sections on writing and writer friends; hunting and hunting dogs; Michigan,
Montana, and other favorite haunts; and, of course, fishing, the book makes the
reader feel like they are sitting on the next barstool, listening to a master
raconteur weave his tales. Harrison's voice is, as always, filled with such a
passion for living that it's difficult to believe he's gone. This collection is
a welcome addition to the disbelief." --Marc Beaudin, Big Sky
Journal

"[The] great
chronicler of America and her natural beauty . . . [Harrison] lived a singular
life, a true American original, and The Search for the Genuine offers a
glimpse into a life lived on the margins but at the center of what matters." --Alex
Perez, Return

"Over the course of his long career as a writer, Jim Harrison wrote
eloquently about the American outdoors in countless ways. The Search for the
Genuine assembles 45 years' worth of his nonfiction, covering subjects
ranging from Yellowstone National Park to searching for sharks. Looking for a
lyrical, meditative take on the grandest subjects out there? Look no further."
--Tobias Carroll, InsideHook

"Rich
with Harrison's consummate humor and characteristic empathy."--Jana Hoops, Jackson
Clarion-Ledge

"Harrison was one of America's most genuine
writers and his "Search" ruminates about love, literature, hunting, fishing,
border life and the magic of place."--Bruce Dinges, Arizona Daily Star

"You
will see the world in a different light and soon realize you are reading the
work of a genius. Many readers will also learn he was a lot like you (and me)."
--Bill Castanier, CityPulse

"The
Harrison who emerges here is recognizable, but also useful, reminding readers
of the value of curiosity and range, whether in miles or mindset." --Glen
Young, Petoskey News-Review

"Exuberant, startlingly original
nonfiction . . . I'm taking its essays one by one . . . just to have his
inimitable voice in my head for as long as possible."--Colette Bancroft, The
Tampa Bay Times
