Oil (booms and busts, fracking), space (NASA and Bezos), music (Willy Nelson, Roy ), politics (from blue to red), the Californiazation of Texas (recycling, etc), guns, the big D – Dallas – post-Kennedy assassination, slavery, Native Americans & buffalo, hurricanes, Astrodome – for sale, the borderlands. You name it – Wright writes about it.
Wright even covers Marfa, Donald Judd, minimalism, the Mystery Lights and Big Bend as part of the remote West Texas.
Easy to read vignettes that will certainly amuse.
