Fiction. Literature. HTML:"A sensitive, powerful love story about a man on the cutting edge of life." �??Richard Brautigan In Farmer, Jim Harrison tells the story of Joseph, a forty-three-year-old farmer-schoolteacher who suddenly finds himself at a crossroads. Forced to choose between two lovers one a tantalizing young student, the other his beautiful childhood friend he must also decide whether or not to stay on the farm or finally seek the wider, more worldly horizons he has avoided all his life. Farmer is a wondrous blend of insight, storytelling, and the author's uncanny ability to evoke the mysteries and beauties of the natural world. "A beautiful novel", Farmer serves as the perfect introduction to Harrison's remarkable insight, storytelling, and evocation of the natural world (The Boston Globe). "A quiet triumph . . . Yes, it is the old story again. Taking it and making it new, as Harrison has done, is a miracle on the order of the loaves and fishes. But then so are all good novels." �??The Washington Pos… (plus d'informations)

I had just started to watch the film ‘Carried Away’ when the title sequence revealed that it was based on this book. I’m at 10% and proceeding cautiously. The writing strong and engaging. It’s the seemingly spoiler filled prologue which scares me. If I know the ending, is it worth reading the middle?

read initially in may-June 2011, JH's third novel tells the story of a man needing to make a choice. Joseph never left his comfortable backwater Michigan home but time and events make the choice necessary. Told in Harrison's crisp and understanding style full of northern Michigan and its woods and waters. A hard yet sympathetic story teller flashes looks at the Farmer's past and the Swedes who settled in Michigan and their happenstance ways of making it into the country. An American story from the late 19th and mid-20th centuries. Though the ending left me hanging JH's clean and direct style told a simple story well. A final chapter at home would have brought the book to a 4.5 (

Injured older Michigan teacher makes out with the ladies, including a seventeen year old.

Did not see that coming.

It's good, of course, anyway. (

There is something lyrical about Harrison's writing, perhaps because he is also a poet... while his storytelling is interesting, his writing glides the story along. As with most of his books that I've read, his central character is a male going through various life changes -- a male with sex, hunting, and fishing on his mind. As a farmer, I enjoy his tales. This is a simple story focusing mainly on one year in a man's life when he is facing personal and professional change. A nice read. (

As a long time reader of Jim Harrison, I can say that reading his books is always a pleasure. I still remember seeing him do a reading in San Francisco. He had a bottle of wine on the table as he read from his latest novel. There is just something about the way he can start a thought and have it move into one subject after another and then still come back to the original thought. His main character in this book is complex and I can understand him and the feelings he has. I look forward to reading all the Jim Harrison books that I have not read. Although a short book "Farmer" is written in that narrative style that makes it seem longer. A good slice of life and a helpful insight into lives that are much different from mine. Harrison reminds me always about why I love the joy of a good novel. (
