Book Reviews of Lone Star Literature: A Texas Anthology
Book Review: Best way to get to know Texas
Summary: 5 Stars
Lone Star Literature has it all! From border crossing stories, to cowboy stories, to the ladies of Highland Park, this book compiles the best of Texas writing: Kinky Friedman humor to Steve Harrigan's Alamo and everything inbetween. If you are new to the State of Texas or just want to learn more about the Texas mystique, these stories are for you.
I read this book for a graduate school class at SMU. The compilation sits proudly on my bookshelf as my favorite book.
Summary of Lone Star Literature: A Texas Anthology
"An indispensable addition to the canon of Texas letters." ?Steve Bennett, San Antonio Express News
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.Anthologies Books
