Not an ex-library book club or remainder copy. Edwin "Bud" Shrake was one of the most intriguing literary talents to emerge from Texas. He wrote vividly in fiction and nonfiction about everything from the early days of the Texas Republic to the making of the atomic bomb. His real gift was capturing the Texas Zeitgeist. Legendary Harper's Magazine editor Willie Morris called Shrake's essay 'Land of the Permanent Wave' one of the two best pieces Morris ever published during his tenure at the magazine. High praise, indeed, when one considers that Norman Mailer and Seymour Hersh were just two of the luminaries featured at Harper's during Morris's reign. This anthology is the first to present and explore Shrake's writing completely, including his journalism, fiction, and film work, both published and previously unpublished. The collection makes innovative use of his personal papers and letters to explore the connections between his journalism and his novels, between his life and his art. An exceptional behind-the-scenes look at his life, Land of the Permanent Wave reveals and reveres the life and calling of a writer whose legacy continues to influence and engage readers and writers. Edwin A. "Bud" Shrake Jr. (September 6, 1931 - May 8, 2009) was an American journalist, sportswriter, novelist, biographer and screenwriter. He co-wrote a series of golfing advice books with golf coach Harvey Penick, including Harvey Penick's Little Red Book, a golf guide that became the best-selling sports book in publishing history. Called a "lion of Texas letters" by the Austin American-Statesman, Shrake was a member of the Texas Film Hall of Fame, and received the Lon Tinkle lifetime achievement award from the Texas Institute of Letters and the Texas Book Festival Bookend Award.…

Shopbeschreibung

"Beautiful books at great prices." I've collected lovely old books and rare first editions for years. Hope you find something that interests you. I want to send these beauties to a happy home. Hope that's yours! I found hundreds of nice dust jackets with no books to cover. Need one for your library? Have a look at that category! Have some dust jackets to sell? Drop me a line! I ship domestically in the US using the Post Office and internationally using consolidation services. Books are always wrapped then packed in cardboard boxes with padding to protect the contents. International shipments are double boxed with shipping paperwork attached to the outside of the box using a special envelope. And a complete duplicate of all the paperwork packed inside the outer box in case the attached set wanders off. Previous international shipments to Austria, Australia, Bahrain, Canada, Germany, Hong Kong, Spain, Sweden, UK --> Help me fill in my international bingo card!…
