Edwin ÒBudÓ Shrake Papers
Birth
is real, death is real, and all between is a game. —Bud Shrake, Blessed McGill, 1968.
One of TexasÕs most admired writers, Edwin ÒBudÓ Shrake began donating his literary papers to the Southwestern Writers Collection/The Wittliff Collections in 1987.
Listed below is an interim inventory of the Shrake papers. Archivist Joel Minor is in the process of arranging and describing the complete collection by combining two previously processed collections with various non-processed accessions. The collection of Shrake papers totals about 75 linear feet. Please contact Joel Minor to schedule a research appointment: 512-245-3229 or minor@txstate.edu.
(compiled by Gwynedd Cannan in 1993, updated in 2009)
In 1958, Shrake moved to the Dallas Times Herald as a sportswriter.
The rival Dallas Morning News hired him away in 1961 to write a daily
sports column. In 1964, Shrake moved to New York, again joining Dan Jenkins,
this time as a writer for Sports Illustrated. While in New York,
Shrake and Jenkins kept company with Billy Lee Brammer, Larry L. King, Willie
Morris, George Plimpton, Norman Mailer, James Dickey, William Styron and many
other literary lights of the day. Shrake was later to reminisce that this
period consisted of "exciting, mostly idealistic times and ... everybody
seemed to know everybody else among the crowd of writers" (Shrake papers,
SWWC). Shrake returned to Texas in 1968, making Austin his home. He continued
his association with Sports Illustrated until 1979 while also writing
novels and screenplays. In addition, he wrote an occasional article for other
magazines, notably "The Land of the Permanent Wave," published in
the February 1970 Harper's Then-editor Willie Morris considered it
one of two pieces published during his Harper's tenure that gave him "special
pride. ... [It] struck a chord in me that I have never quite forgotten, having
to do with how clean, funny, and lambent prose caught the mood of that moment
in the country and mirrored with great felicity what we were trying to do
at Harper's. To me few finer magazine essays have ever been written"
(New York Days, 326).
Shrake has published ten novels. All but one are set squarely in his home
state and, as A. C. Greene once commented, "seemed to be reaching for
some truth about life (Texas life) that needed to be explained" (Texas
Monthly, Aug. 1981). Representative of Shrake's fiction are the heavily-researched,
wry western, Blessed McGill; the searing portrait of Dallas during
the days of the Kennedy assassination, Strange Peaches; and the retelling
of Petronius' Satyricon, Peter Arbiter, wherein Shrake translates
the decadence of imperial Rome to the decadence of oil-rich Texas. Shrake's
recent fiction includes the Texas epic, The Borderland (2000) along with Billy
Boy (2001) and Custer's Brother's Horse (2007).
Shrake has also written celebrity as-told-to autobiographies, beginning with
his friend, musician Willie Nelson. Willie: An Autobiography was
followed by Bootlegger's Boy, the story of the controversial former
University of Oklahoma coach, Barry Switzer, and Harvey Penick's Little
Red Book, tips and tales from the accomplished golfer. All three of these
works made the bestseller's list, the Penick book becoming the bestselling
sports book in American publishing history.
Shrake's versatility as a writer extends to screenwriting. Productions on
which Shrake is credited include: J. W. Coop (1972), with Cliff Robertson
playing a rodeo star adjusting to a changing west; Kid Blue (1973),
a comic western starring Dennis Hopper; Tom Horn (1980), with Steve
McQueen as the legendary shootist; and Songwriter (1984), a film
about the country music business directed by Alan Rudolph and starring Willie
Nelson and Kris Kristofferson. Many other of Shrake's scripts remain unrealized
despite the enthusiasm and support of prominent Hollywood figures. Actor/director
Dennis Hopper was unable to finance a proposed production on Pancho Villa
and Ambrose Bierce. The screenplay for that project was later reworked into
the stage play, Pancho Villa's Wedding. Director Jonathan Demme labored to
bring Big Mamoo to the screen for many years but his efforts to that
end remain frustrated.
At least three of Shrake's novels are recognized as classics of Texas fiction.
A. C. Greene listed Blessed McGill in 1981 as one of Texas' fifty
best books and in so doing, fairly described much of Shrake's writing in general
- it shows "an appreciation for the absurdities of existence, a recognition
of irony's major role in the world, [and] highly suggestive humor" (Texas
Monthly , Aug. 1981). Of Strange Peaches, the critic Don Graham has
written, "When anybody asks me what Dallas was like during the time of
the Kennedy Assassination, I always refer them to one book: Edwin 'Bud' Shrake's
Strange Peaches." Critic James Ward Lee includes Shrake's 1964 novel,
But Not for Love, in his Classics of Texas Fiction.
