Four Texas authors changing the literary landscape at home and beyond

When his family moved from Oklahoma to Abilene when he was 10, Lawrence Wright was not happy. “I didn’t want to be a Texan—as if being an Oklahoman was especially worthy,” he says.

Halfway between Dallas and Houston sits the birthplace of the word Texas

Deep in the East Texas Pineywoods, about midway between Dallas and Houston, sits a state park that most Texans have never heard of. Mission Tejas State Park marks the ground where Spain planted its first mission in Texas back in 1690, and where a single Caddo word gave the whole state its name.

Born 81 Years Ago Today in Texas, the Country Music Trailblazer Who Turned Small-Town Hypocrisy Into a No. 1 Crossover Smash

On this day (October 19) in 1945, Jeanne Carolyn Stephenson was born in the small West Texas town of Anson, roughly 25 miles north of Abilene. After getting married as a teenager, she became known as Jeannie C. Riley, whom you likely recognize from her international 1968 hit “Harper Valley P.T.A.” Although country-pop singer Billie Jo Spears recorded a version of the Tom T. Hall-penned song around the same time, it’s Riley’s rendition that remains etched into the pillars of country music history. Released in August 1968, the song topped both the U.S. country and pop charts, making Riley the first female artist ever to accomplish that feat. She would hold that title for 13 years until Dolly Parton did the same in 1981 with “9 to 5”.

Get Lost in the Stacks of Texas’ Largest Used Bookstore Chain

The theory holds that scent is the sensation most closely tied to memory. I find proof when I walk through the strip mall’s glass doors. The pleasant smell of other people’s things, specifically the musky odor of their used books, records, magazines—everything that isn’t “yesterday’s newspaper,” as the store’s motto reads—smacks me like a wave. All bookstores have a scent. Only my Half Price Books has this one.
