Engaging and forthright
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
"A Book Lover In Texas" is an engaging and forthright memoir.Evelyn Oppenheimer pulls no punches as she chronicles her five decades as a poet, literary agent, essayist, book collector, and book reviewer (her radio reviews hold the record for forty-five years on the air).Oppenheimer writes about the books of and encounters with such literary figures as Louis L'Amor, Katherine Anne Porter, Larry McMurtry, and opera star Renata Scott, of whom Oppenheimer called "charming [and] utterly unpretentious" (doctor-novelist Frank Slaughter didn't fare as well).Book lovers everywhere will revel in this laudable work.
