TOWER BOOKCLUB SELECTION - BOOKS: A MEMOIR

 

Throughout his prolific life and career, Larry McMurtry has succeeded in a variety of genres: coming-of-age novels like The Last Picture Show; essay collections like In a Narrow Grave; and the reinvention of the Western with his Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, Lonesome Dove.

 

Now, in Books: A Memoir, McMurtry writes about his passion for books as a medium, from his boyhood discovery of literature to life as a fledgling author and, most notably, as one of America's premier bookmen.
