Description

Farewell: A Memoir of a Texas ChildhoodFor more than five decades, Horton Foote, the Chekhov of the small town, has chronicled the changes in American life both intimate and universal. His adaptation of Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird and his original screenplay Tender Mercies earned him Academy Awards. He received an Indie Award for Best Writer for The Trip to Bountiful and a Pulitzer Prize for The Young Man from Atlanta. In his plays and films, Foote has returned over and over again

For more than five decades, Horton Foote, the Chekhov of the small town, has chronicled the changes in American life -- both intimate and universal. His adaptation of Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird and his original screenplay Tender Mercies earned him Academy Awards. He received an Indie Award for Best Writer for The Trip to Bountiful and a Pulitzer Prize for The Young Man from Atlanta.
In his plays and films, Foote has returned over and over again to Wharton, Texas, where he was born and where he lives, once again, in the house in which he grew up. Now for the first time, in Farewell, Foote turns to prose to tell his own story and the stories of the real people who have inspired his characters. His memoir is both a celebration of the immense importance of community and evidence that even a strong community cannot save a lost soul. Farewell is as deeply moving as the best of Foote's writing for film and theater, and a gorgeous testimony to his own faith in the human spirit

Little bit on the small side
Size: XX-Large, Color: Black, Pocket Description: Plain Front
Run a little small, but the quality of the shirt seems to be pretty good. It is thick and nice. Warm and softness are both good.

Impressed for the most part
Size: X-Large, Color: White, Pocket Description: Plain Front
Going to give it 5-stars for now, well see how well they hold up after a few washes. They for sure feel like nice heavy-weight shirts. I like them alot for that reason. They have a boxy-fit though, so not "fitted" at all but thats fine for me because I am using them as under-shirts.

Runs small
Size: XX-Large, Color: Navy
Definitely go a size up. These run a whole size smaller than designated. Material is also heavier than a regular t-shirt. Quality seems okay
