His twenty-one books of fiction and fourteen books of poetry influenced a generation of writers. Harrison helped to shape the course of contemporary American literature, revitalizing in particular the novella form, of which he was a recognized master.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHarrison's literary achievements were matched only by the literary persona that he cultivated during a fecund time in American letters and in the company of a remarkable cohort of friends, writers, actors, and artists, including Thomas McGuane, Peter Matthiessen, and Jack Nicholson. Writing for magazines such as Sports Illustrated, Playboy, Esquire, and Outside in the 1970s, his journalism won him a loyal readership who reveled in his high spirits and prodigious appetites.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor all his notoriety as a writer of prose, however, poetry remained his first and longest-abiding love. He cherished his geographic remoteness from what he called the \"dream coasts\" of New York City and Los Angeles, preferring to hunt, fish, and drink in the backwoods bars of Michigan, Arizona, and Montana.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBased on more than one hundred original interviews and drawing upon Harrison's collected papers, Devouring Time is the first and only literary biography of this beloved author, whose playful, irreverent, and spiritual work continues to find and delight new readers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Todd Goddard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1799902366\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781799902362\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Blackstone Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/04\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Todd Goddard","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46838582182143,"sku":"9781799902362","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e0cd68d9-38df-4529-aa65-3870061b34e0.jpg?v=1746590277","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/devouring-time-todd-goddard-9781799902362","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
