More From Larry McMurtry

This was an age before e-books. we all knew that the only way you can allow a book to survive in print in the long term is in paperback. the hardback has a certain life, and then it stops having that. it stops selling, and if you want the book to just stay around there has to be a paperback edition. so if there were not a paperback edition the book would eventually disappear from the shelves, and we would have lost the battle.

Recently while browsing in a secondhand bookstore i bought a paperback copy of the intellectual and the city, but i was unable to read it. when i got home i discovered that the original owner had highlighted the entire book - literally. every line on every page had been drawn through with a bright green magic marker. it was a terrifying example of a mind that had lost all power of discrimination.

What i say is, a town isn't a town without a bookstore. it may call itself a town, but unless it's got a bookstore it knows it's not fooling a soul.

The anger is useful too because when things about the world upset you, that is really a fertile feeling to channel into fiction and to put out into books.
