News of the World - News of Texas

Finally. Another wonderful book about Texas and our very diverse population. I fell in complete love. There is a reason this was long listed for the National Book Award. Finally another book full of the achingly brilliant sky and people who settle into your heart. Why don't books like this get more attention without award nominations? Hurry to read it, it's short and it's surprisingly applicable at the same time that is a beautiful reminder of our almost distant past. And yes, if you loved "True Grit" and "Lonesome Dove"you'll be in heaven.
