Mr. Texas

In this humorous and incisive novel by Pulitzer Prize winner Lawrence Wright, Sonny Lamb, an affable rancher from Texas, unexpectedly finds himself a dark-horse candidate for the state legislature after a heroic act makes him a local hero. With no political experience and his marriage to the charming cowgirl Lola hanging in the balance, Sonny embarks on a tumultuous journey through the challenges of campaigning and navigating the complexities of local politics. As he grapples with his ethics and the pressures from veteran politicians and lobbyists, Wright delivers a sharp satire on morality and ambition in today’s politically charged climate.
