The authors in this anthology are all gifted and many are either friends of McMurtry, former collegues of McMurtry, former mentors of McMurtry (Stegner) or authors who McMurtry wrote literary criticism about in the NYRB. Altogether a very enjoyable group of stories and a must have for the McMurtry collector.
