Editorial Reviews
“Mr. McMurtry is an outsider with insider stories and connections…Strewn through this book’s loose narrative are stories about things like eating chicken gizzards and attending a stock car race in Texas with Susan Sontag…The book is also, happily, filled with his literary enthusiasms.”
—New York Times
“A master reflects on the joy of writing…An invitation into the working writer’s head.”
—Boston Globe
“In this, the second of three planned memoirs, McMurtry takes a laconic look back over a life in letters that now includes some forty books and an equal number of screenplays…McMurtry’s understated style is charming and deceptively sophisticated.”
—Publishers Weekly
“An enjoyable and revealing look at the thoughts and career of a great writer.”
—Booklist
