SynopsisTexas has a mythology bigger than the Lone Star State itself. This collection of writing about the state - from early accounts of frontier life told by Andy Adams, to contemporaray fiction and nonfiction - reveals its contribution to America's literary landscape., A vast land combining the West, the South, and the Border, small dusty towns and gleaming modern cities, Texas has a history and identity all its own, and a mythology bigger than the Lone Star State itself. In this anthology, selected as a Southwest Book of the Year in 2003, Don Graham has rounded up a comprehensive collection of writings that provides an overview of the diversity and excellence of Texas literature and reveals its vital contribution to America's literary landscape. The result is a sometimes rowdy, always artful panorama of fable and truth, humor and pathos-all growing out of the state that continues to stimulate the collective imagination like no other.
