The second Jim Harrison novel I've read Warlock (1982) is something of a departure from his debut, Wolf A False Memoir. This novel actually has a plot-although it is ruminative in places-the second half in particular plays out like a conventional thriller. In this novel Johnny Lungren aka "Warlock" is at his wits ends, he's married to a beautiful, smart nurse and is unemployed. He is living a sort of torpor until his wife introduces him to an eccentric doctor/inventor who hires him to trouble shot problems with his investments. Johnny is an engaging character who voices opinions on many things but is especially fixated on food and sex-he's something of a foodie obsessed with meals and cooking and when not lusting after his wife he' picking up strange women while on the job. I understand that this is something of a deviation from his early books, I still found it engaging and entertaining.
