Naomi Shihab Nye remembers Paulette Jiles

One morning in 1991, Paulette Jiles showed up unannounced at Naomi Shihab Nye's doorstep. It was the beginning of a long and (perhaps) unlikely friendship for two of Texas' most celebrated writers. Discussed in this episode: Naomi's recent Texas Monthly essay "Remembering My Friend Paulette Jiles" and that time Jiles inexplicably panned The Which Way Tree in a review for The New York Times. Jiles, the author of ⁠News of the World⁠ and ⁠Enemy Women⁠, died on July 8.

Stephen Harrigan and the mystery of faith

Stephen Harrigan has been called the Willie Nelson of Texas literature. He's also one of my longtime favorite writers. In his new book, Sorrowful Mysteries, Steve revisits his childhood in Abilene and Corpus Christi, where he was both comforted and haunted by the rituals and beliefs of the Catholic Church (especially a series of prophecies known as the Three Secrets of Fátima). This is a conversation about the way that your religious background shapes you for life, even if your beliefs change. Regardless of your own faith, I think you'll find something deeply relatable in Steve's story.
