Jim Harrison, sa disparition.
Il gardait sur son bureau un petit morceau de papier où était écrite une phrase aboyée par un patron de studio hollywoodien : « Tu n’es rien qu’un écrivain ».

NEW YORK Jim Harrison, the fiction writer, poet, outdoorsman and reveler who wrote with gruff affection for the country's landscape and rural life and enjoyed mainstream success in middle age with his historical saga Legends of the Fall, has died at age 78.
Spokeswoman Deb Seager of Grove Atlantic, Harrison's publisher, told The Associated Press that Harrison died Saturday at his home in Patagonia, Arizona. Seager did not know the cause of death. Harrison's wife of more than 50 years, Linda King Harrison, died last fall.
The versatile and prolific author completed more than 30 books, most recently the novella collection The Ancient Minstrel, and was admired worldwide. Sometimes likened to Ernest Hemingway for the range and kinds of his interests, he was a hunter and fisherman who savored his time in a cabin near his Michigan hometown, a drinker and Hollywood scriptwriter who was close friends with Jack Nicholson and came to know Sean Connery, Orson Welles and Warren Beatty among others. He was a sports writer and a man of extraordinary appetite who once polished off a 37-course lunch, a traveler and teller of tales, most famously Legends of the Fall.
His voice came from the American heartland and his deep and abiding love of the American landscape runs through his extraordinary body of work, Grove Atlantic publisher and CEO Morgan Entrekin said in statement Sunday.
Published in 1979, Legends of the Fall was a collection of three novellas that featured the title story about Montana rancher Col. William Ludlow and his three sons of sharply contrasting personalities and values, the narrative extending from before World War I to the mid-20th century, from San Francisco to Singapore.
Late in October 1914 three brothers rode from Choteau, Montana to Calgary, Alberta to enlist in the Great War, reads Harrison's celebrated opening sentence, which author Vance Bourjaily would praise for establishing both the voice and manner of the epic storyteller, who deals in great vistas and vast distances.
