His novel \u003ci\u003eA Good Day to Die\u003c\/i\u003e 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. \u003ci\u003eA Good Day to Die\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJIM HARRISON (1937-2016) was the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author of thirty-nine previous books of fiction, nonfiction, and poetry, including \u003ci\u003eLegends of the Fall\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eDalva\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eReturning to Earth\u003c\/i\u003e.
