Writing on the Wind: An Anthology of West Texas Women Writers

for anyone who grew up in the southwest US, or is looking for a genuine look at what life is/was like there, this is insightful. lovely writing; good reading.

My book club chose the subject of "Texas writers writing about Texas". Passing up McMurtry and Graves, et al, I chose this book. The essays and short stories really are about living in West Texas - not just novels set in Texas. Reading about the authors, I was impressed with their credentials. Some of the pieces are so West Texas you can feel the everlasting wind and taste the dust and know that they love where they live. Of course, not all the pieces are of equal value, but I recommend the book to anyone interested in women writers - and West Texas.
