Description
Bourjaily, a novelist, brings together his nonfiction writings, most of which have appeared over the years in Audience, Harper's, Woman's Day, American Sportsman, Esquire, Playboy, and The New Yorker. This collection covers about a decade of personal essays on the Midwestern rustic lifestyle -- dogs and horses Bourjaily has known, raising pork and beef, cooking a lentil potage called Jacob's Guile, gathering and pickling mushrooms (a German-Bohemian recipe provided), more on the pleasures of hunting, the memories of a World War I air ace -- now Bourjaily's neighbor, on fishing, and more.
