Texas’ literary heirs


Who will be the heirs of Larry McMurtry and John Graves? That’s the question in one of today’s DMN editorials (h/t Elliott).

My hunch? Nobody.

Lone Star pride still runs high, but it’s more of an abstract, sentimental feeling that has very little to do with the lives of most Texans. There’s no singular Texas experience waiting to be recorded by one author.

It’s about as futile as waiting for the Great American Novel. Or trying to write it.
