Overview


"Man shits his pants and trashed God's body." These were Jim Harrison's last words, scrawled mid-sentence as his heart stopped at age 78.

The one-eyed poet who survived on macaroni for seventeen years. Who wheelbarrowed 35 tons of cement blocks for $25. Who couldn't pay a $99 house payment. Then Jack Nicholson sent $30,000, and Harrison wrote Legends of the Fall in nine days, transforming poverty into millions.

But wealth brought its own demons. "My life quickly evolved into a kind of hysteria," he confessed. Alcohol. Cocaine. Thirty-seven-course feasts. Three homes. Yet every day, he returned to his desk.

"I probably wouldn't have been a poet if I hadn't lost my left eye," Harrison said. That childhood wound became his greatest gift.

This is the untold story of wild appetites, brutal honesty, and a man who got his work done.
