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.

You truly exceeded her expectations. Many thanks for churning out these beneficial, trustworthy, edifying as well as fun tips on that topic to Emily.

  2. You could certainly see your enthusiasm in the work you write. The sector hopes for more passionate writers like you who aren’t afraid to say how they believe. All the time go after your heart. “Faith in the ability of a leader is of slight service unless it be united with faith in his justice.” by George Goethals.
