The following essays are organized into four parts -- Places, Pages, Polemics, and Pictures. Graham provides a rich sampling of his knowledge of Texas literature and movies in pieces that blanket the territory from Katherine Anne Porter to John Graves and Larry McMurtry and from moo-cow cattle-drive epics to soggy Alamo sagas to urban cowboy melodrama. |
