吉姆•哈里森（1937—2016），美国诗人、小说家和影视剧本作家，素有“中篇小说大师”之称。哈里森受家庭熏陶，酷爱阅读，最初以诗歌创作开始其文学生涯，视创作为生命的召唤，一生笔耕不辍，是一名多才多艺的多产作家。他的中篇小说多以三部曲形式结集出版，包括《秋日传奇》、《被萤火虫照亮的妇女》、《朱莉普》、《上帝忘记创造的野兽》、《他未死的那年夏天》、《农民的女儿》和《远古游吟诗人》。其主要作品都以他熟悉的北部半岛、蒙大拿州或亚利桑那州的乡村为背景，与福克纳有许多相似之处。 他酷爱垂钓、打猎等户外活动，喜爱饮酒和美食，作品中又常现“硬汉”形象，因此被誉为“当代海明威”。他的作品已经被译为二十多种语言，深受读者喜爱，尤其是法国等欧洲国家的读者更是对他的作品情有独钟，认为它们更真实地反映了美国社会生活和文明冲突。
