For over twenty-five years, readers of Texas Monthly have relied on Cartwright to tell the stories behind the headlines with pull-no-punches honesty and wry humor. His reporting has told us not just what's happened over three decades in Texas, but, more importantly, what we've become as a result.This book collects seventeen of Cartwright's best Texas Monthly articles from the 1980s and 1990s, along with a new essay, \"My Most Unforgettable Year,\" about the lasting legacy of the Kennedy assassination. He ranges widely in these pieces, from the reasons for his return to Texas after a New Mexican exile to profiles of Kris Kristofferson and Willie Nelson. Along the way, he strolls through San Antonio's historic King William District; attends a Dallas Cowboys old-timers reunion and the Holyfield vs. Foreman fight; visits the front lines of Texas' new range wars; gets inside the heads of murderers, gamblers, and revolutionaries; and debunks Viagra miracles, psychic surgery, and Kennedy conspiracy theories. In Cartwright's words, these pieces all record \"the renewal of my Texas-ness, a rediscovery of Texas after returning home.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51731048759584,"sku":"NEW029271226X","price":34.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61tr-ixhRDL.jpg?v=1779433004","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/turn-out-the-lights-chronicles-of-texas-during-the-80s-and-90s-southwestern-writers-coll-029271226x","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
