Musings and Memories From Texas to Memphis
A jerky tour of small-town Arkansas and Tennessee allusions, quips, and vignettes. The writer riffs on a gutted unfinished Texas building, tax roll values, quotes from Wilson Mizner, and a parade of literary bites, personality sketches, and observations from Memphis and Hot Springs. The piece threads humor with regional character and political recollections.
