From Thomas Zigal:
“TCU Press has just published my memoir about my 30-year friendship with Rick. To tell his story, I include excerpts from his unfinished autobiography. The book is titled “The Seasons of Rick Roderick,” and it will give you a sense of how Rick grew up in West Texas, his personal tragedies, and his journey to become a learned teacher of philosophy. I recount his years at Duke University and elsewhere, his struggles with poor health, and the Viking funeral that carried his ashes down the Guadalupe River in Texas. It’s a behind-the-scenes look at a remarkable thinker and a complex man.”

I grabbed a kindle copy from Amazon and the paperback from TCU. Looking forward to reading. Thanks Thomas for writing it and letting us know.
