The English Major by Jim Harrison

2.0

While there were many interesting and laugh out loud moments to the this autobiographical styled novel, it was a bit more vulgar than I expected. Not at all something you would want to be listening to on a road trip or 5 minute drive to the store with kids in the car. I kept thinking of that scene in Under The Tuscan Sun where Frances is telling an author she couldn't get into a book about a middle aged man reliving all his horny teenage fantasies. It was narrated by an older gentleman who seemed tired and uninterested in the story but it came to fit the story perfectly as it was a narration of the life, divorce and subsequent road trip of discovery of a 60 year old man. Plenty of alcohol, sex, foul language, talking about wanting sex and constant descriptions of women and what he'd like to do with them.
