A Natural State: Essays on Texas

by Stephen Harrigan

Book Overview

In this remarkable collection of essays, Stephen Harrigan explores, with an unfailing depth of feeling, the human longing to feel at home in the world of nature. In vivid and convincing prose, he evokes the landscape of his home territory, Texas, and his own reactions, sometimes droll, sometimes haunted, to the extraordinary power of place that Texas projects. A Natural State was originally published in hardcover in 1988 by Texas Monthly Press.

Customer Reviews

A (re)Discovery of Texas

Harrigan does an exceptional job of taking the reader through the natural wonders of Texas, from the beaches to the deserts, and finally to the Hill Country's Enchanted Rock. By the end of the book, I had no other choice than to hop in my own car and hit the Texas highways and rediscover this natural state for myself.
