Next Up: Mr. Texas - Lawrence Wright

Chelsea Pennington joins Gary, Whitney, and Mira to analyze another recently-published novel on the next episode of Writers Who Read. Next up: Mr. Texas by Lawrence Wright.

What could be a juicier target to lampoon than the Texas statehouse? Power hungry pols, feasting on their Good Old Boy network, lick their chops when an actual working rancher, Sonny Lamb, joins their ranks. Blessed with equal parts idealism and naivete, Sonny is the creation of reporter cum author Lawrence Wright, who certainly knows his way around Texas politics. Come for the yuks, but leave with Wright's astute insights into the reasons why things are the way they are.
