"Bud Shrake is one of Texas’ greats. Great sportswriter. Great novelist. Great storyteller. Shrake co-authored Harvey Penick’s Little Red Book¸ which stands as the bestselling sports book of all time, and has also written novels, biographies, screenplays and plays. He’s kept company with some of America’s most-respected authors, and some of the state’s most interesting characters, and has stories to share about all of them." - Evan Smith, Texas Monthly Talks, Broadcast 1.24.08
