Texas Bound I, II & III - by Kay Cattarulla (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

A collection of short stories by writers with deep Texas ties, examining life, love, sorrow, and history in the Lone Star State.

A celebrated but long out-of-print collection of Texas short stories that were presented, in readings by Texas actors, at the Texas Bound segment of Dallas's hit literary series "Arts & Letters Live." Writers range from Katherine Anne Porter and William Goyen to Larry McMurtry and Sandra Cisneros and, as the New York Times writes, constitute a chronicle of "people coming to terms with love, race, myth, time and honor in towns that transcend Texas even as they evoke it." Some of the readings--by Tommy Lee Jones, Kathy Bates, Marcia Gay Harden, and others--are also part of this Texas-size reissue in an accompanying audiobook.
