Larry McMurtry declares, 'Texas itself doesn't have anything to do with why I write. It never did'. Horton Foote, on the other hand, says, 'I've just never had a desire to write about any place else'. In between those figurative bookends are hundreds of other writers - some internationally recognized, others just becoming known - who draw inspiration and often subject matter from the unique places and people that are Texas. To give everyone who is interested in Texas writing a representative sampling of the breadth and vitality of the state's current literary production, this volume features conversations with fifty of Texas' most notable established writers and emerging talents. The writers included here work in a wide variety of genres - novels, short stories, poetry, plays, screenplays, essays, nonfiction, and magazine journalism. In their conversations with interviewers from the "Writers' League of Texas" and other authors' organizations, the writers speak of their apprenticeships, literary influences, working habits, connections with their readers, and the domestic and public events that have shaped their writing. Accompanying the interviews are excerpts from the writers' work, as well as their photographs, biographies, and bibliographies. Joe Holley's introductory essay - an overview of Texas writing from Cabeza de Vaca's 1542 Relacion to the work of today's generation of writers, who are equally at home in Hollywood as in Texas - provides the necessary context to appreciate such a diverse collection of literary voices.
