" A] culinary combo plate of Hunter S. Thompson, Ernest Hemingway, Julian Schnabel, and Sam Peckinpah . . . Harrison writes with enough force to make your knees buckle and with infectious zeal that makes you turn the pages hungry for more . . . Jim Harrison has staked out a distinctive place in the world of food writing."--Jane and Michael Stern, New York Times Book Review on The Raw and the Cooked

New York Times bestselling author Jim Harrison was one of this country's most beloved writers, a muscular, brilliantly economic stylist with a salty wisdom. He also wrote some of the best essays on food around, earning praise as "the poet laureate of appetite" (Dallas Morning News). A Really Big Lunch, to be published on the one-year anniversary of Harrison's death, collects many of his food pieces for the first time--and taps into his larger-than-life appetite with wit and verve.

Jim Harrison's legendary gourmandise is on full display in A Really Big Lunch. From the titular New Yorker piece about a French lunch that went to thirty-seven courses, to pieces from Brick, Playboy, Kermit Lynch Newsletter, and more on the relationship between hunter and prey, or the obscure language of wine reviews, A Really Big Lunch is shot through with Harrison's pointed aper us and keen delight in the pleasures of the senses. And between the lines the pieces give glimpses of Harrison's life over the last three decades. A Really Big Lunch is a literary delight that will satisfy every appetite.

"Harrison is the American Rabelais, and he is at his irreverent and excessive best in this collection." --John Skowles, San Diego Union-Tribune on The Raw and the Cooked

Really nice box
Color: Cream, Size: 2-Layer
This actually is a very nice box. It is sturdy enough for constant handling. It does not hold a lot of pieces but I knew that. This is for someone that needs to store a small amount of jewelry. I like the sides that open and the bottom storage, it is big enough to hold small boxed with earrings in it. The cover is very pretty with the padded look, it opens and closes very easy. One thing to keep in mind that the pull out erring holder is just covered cardboard, don't bend it. All in all I am very happy with this box so far it is doing what I need it to do, hold my spare jewelry.

Perfect organizer
Color: Cream, Size: 2-Layer, Color: Cream, Size: 2-Layer
This organizer is cute and compact but has a place for every type of jewelry which is what I was looking for. Its not bulky and i love how the two inner sections pull away to reveal a pretty large storage section for larger or micellaneous items. Would recommend.

Large and Conveniently Versatile
Color: Black, Size: Extra Large
This isn't quite what I was expecting but it is amazing. It is larger, sturdier, and heavier than what I expected. I emptied 4 other large decorative boxes of jewelry and relocated them into this. I cannot believe what it holds. The variety of drawer designes are perfect. There are ideal spaces for my chunky necklaces and bracelets. The side hooks are perfect for a multitude of light necklaces and chains. Love the top tray for a gazillion stud earrings. For the first time I have one location for my jewelry where I can actually see what is there without digging. It is a little too big for my dresser but the convenience is worth it. I got the black because it was the least expensive. It is a classy look. The color and design would suit a guy with lots of watches and bling or a gal with a variety of styles of jewely from chunky to light filigree. It is heavy even before loading it with jewelry. The drawers can easily be reconfigured with convenient criss cross dividers. All are nicely, lightly lined. It arrived well packaged with corner protectors. There was a bit of a smell but it was gone after airing it overnight in the bathroom.
