«Le Vieux Saltimbanque» is Jim Harrison's autobiographical novel, published by Flammarion in paperback (147 pages, in French).
In Le Vieux Saltimbanque, Jim Harrison continues his memoirs in the third person to escape the illusion of reality inherent to autobiography. The author revisits childhood memories, the discovery of poetry, married life, nature, the pleasures of the table and the flesh, alcohol and artificial paradises, in a life balance that becomes his literary testament.
Originally published as «The Ancient Minstrel» in 2016; the French translation is by Brice Matthieussent.
