In this final installment of the memoir trilogy that includes Books and Literary Life, Larry McMurtry, "the master of the show-stopping anecdote" (O: The Oprah Magazine) turns his own keenly observing eye to his rollercoaster romance with Hollywood.

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Pulitzer Prize-winner Larry McMurtry writes novels set in the American heartland, but his real territory is the heart itself.
