His adventures take him through a whirlwind affair with a former student from his high-school-teacher days twenty-some years before, to a “snake farm” in Arizona owned by an old classmate, and to the high-octane existence of his son, a big-time movie producer who has just bought an apartment over the Presidio in San Francisco.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Jim Harrison’s riotous and moving cross-country novel, \u003ci\u003eThe English Major\u003c\/i\u003e, is the map of a man’s journey into, and out of, himself.
