No context quotes from the book event tonight: "I could watch toads all day long" "Why don't you come up and see my web?" "Portable swamp coolers on their backs" (biologists are pretty much the best)

A lil Wednesday Good Publicity News thread for PASTURES OF THE EMPTY PAGE which pubbed yesterday at UT Press—it's been a joy to learn more about "Minor Regional Novelist," #LarryMcMurtry through those who knew him best.
