The lead review in yesterday’s New York Times Book Review was of Tracy Daugherty’s new biography of Larry McMurtry. I saw the book at Barnes & Noble last week (while looking for Father & Son) and, turning to the Notes in the back, was delighted to find my name. I had visited McMurtry’s used bookstore in Archer City, Texas, in the late ’90s and written about it for the Sun-Sentinel, a story that I later included in my book A Way to See the World. Unfortunately, neither of these were cited, as Daugherty had found a reprint of my story in the Chicago Tribune (then owner of the Sun-Sentinel), whose editors surely shortened it.
