"W. C. Jameson has compiled an assorted collection of essays by fourteen of the most prominent Texas writers through which he hopes to explore the following questions: "How did they accomplish their goals? Why did they choose the writing life? What influence did the history, lore, and culture of Texas play in their creative process?" While readily citing the "decidedly Texas flavor" in his own fiction, Jameson seeks to uncover the inspirations in other writers from both the expansive and rugged Texas terrain as well as the varied people therein."--BOOK JACKET.
