University of Texas Press, 1997. First edition. Hardcover. Like New/Very Good. 6x1x9. Texas native Larry L. King, journalist, novelist, and author of the Broadway hit The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, has always excelled at magazine essays, and this collection brings together some of his best work. Arranged thematically in the three categories of the title, some are more factual than others, but what they all have in common is King's graceful writing, which can range from heart-breaking to hilarious. A piece on a family tragedy in the distant past that has haunted him is especially poignant, and a visit to a modern political convention is hysterically funny. This book is a treat for long-time King fans, and is also a good introduction for those not yet familiar with his distinct view of the world.
