Overview

This collection brings together twenty-two stories. Most are the work of contemporary writers, published within the past decade and, in many cases, selected for prize anthologies or otherwise hononed. With the narrative drive typical of Texas storytelling, they move back and forth in time, up and down the social ladder, around the state and, occasionally, across state lines. Some of the strongest are stories about children: James Lee Burke's portrayal of a boy's fear and confusion when his father helps an escaped convict, Sandra Cisneros's sassy and poignant monologue on money and the Barbie culture, and John Bennet's account of a perilous upbringing on a broken-down East Texas farm.

Overview

This collection brings together twenty-two stories. Most are the work of contemporary writers, published within the past decade and, in many cases, selected for prize anthologies or otherwise hononed. With the narrative drive typical of Texas storytelling, they move back and forth in time, up and down the social ladder, around the state and, occasionally, across state lines. Some of the strongest are stories about children: James Lee Burke's portrayal of a boy's fear and confusion when his father helps an escaped convict, Sandra Cisneros's sassy and poignant monologue on money and the Barbie culture, and John Bennet's account of a perilous upbringing on a broken-down East Texas farm. Some authors (Marshall Terry, Hermine Pinson) depict actual cities; others, such as Donald Barthelme, Annette Sanford, and new writer Matt Clark, set their startling tales in indeterminate terrain. Throughout the collection, vivid characters spring to life. Dagoberto Gilb's writer tempting fate in El Paso, Lisa Sandlin's girl on her first car date, and Robert Olen Butler's lovesick parrot. Not to mention R. E. Smith's stylish Houstonite whose back-to-nature weekend changes her life, and Miles Wilson's has-been poet who, in the final story, gets the last laugh.

Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly
In a scheme as quintessentially Texan as a can of Lone Star beer, the Dallas Art Museum's celebrity reading series Arts & Letters Live pairs celebrity actors with Texas-themed stories. The results have been three audiocassettes and, now, two print collections. The second of these precisely echoes the faults and virtues of its predecessor: although some stories seem to have been selected more for brevity and authorial notoriety than for quality or variety, none is less than well made, entertaining and heavily flavored with regional types. The best among them is Tom Doyle's "Sick Day," followed closely by Lisa Sandlin's "The Old Folks Wish Them Well." Others by Matt Clark, Barbara Hudson, Annette Sanford and Donna Trussell stand out for their wit and craft. Perhaps the most literary offerings are by dead authors: Texas expatriate Katherine Anne Porter's "The Jilting of Granny Weatherall" and Donald Barthelme's "The School," each familiar from many other anthologies. With its broad view of what makes a writer Texan, this collection may rankle state chauvinists; others may wish to skip the books, pleasant as they are, in favor of the cassettes. But as a continuing introduction to Texan short fiction, generously defined, the series does Cattarulla (and her home state) proud. (July) FYI: SMU is releasing the third Texas Bound audiocassette to coincide with the publication of Texas Bound Book II.
