Then you want James McMurtry. Son of a renowned author--Larry McMurtry (who wrote Lonesome Dove and the Last Picture Show among many others)--he shows the apple does not fall far from the tree, wordsmithy-wise. He has had a good career explaining Texas and Texans to the wider world, and been a corrosive force for holding the powers-that-be responsible and exposing their thoughts and actions.
