Description

The peaceful, bucolic Hill Country of his childhood is being dragged kicking & screaming into the 21st cent. Kinky Friedman is at his outrageous best as he gives Americans a look at the state made famous by the Alamo, the Armadillo, Willie Nelson, &, well, Kinky Friedman. This book is composed of provocative essays, including autobiographical pieces that are at times bittersweet & at other times hilarious; profiles of such stellar Texans as Willie Nelson, George W. Bush, Jerry Jeff Walker, Pat Green, & Racehorse Haynes; & a treasure trove of lists & quizzes, incl. “If the 10 Command. Were Written by a Texan.” The book is decorated with cartoons, particularly appealing to those whose lives are spiraling downward into despair.
