Details
Synopsis
Despite having written almost 30 novels and being both a Pulitzer Prize-winning author and an Academy Award-winning screenwriter, Larry McMurtry has always considered himself a book collector above all. His evocative new memoir, full of the breezy Texas ambience of his fiction, explores the reasons for this distinction. It details his adventures as an avid book man, and recounts with gentle humor the strange characters and rich experiences he has encountered in his life of book-chasing. Told through 109 short chapters, BOOKS: A MEMOIR effortlessly blends reflections on the oscillating prices of rare editions with McMurtry's writing habits, influences, and early-born passion for all things literary. Fans of McMurtry's fiction or readers interested in book collecting will find plenty of charming anecdotes to savor in this volume.
