Texas Highways Review of Fire in the Water, Earth in the Air


"Oglesby’s book shines a warm, bright light on these fascinating Texans
and their perspectives on West Texas’ shaping of their art and ambition."

And the Chronicle bestowed an honorary UT professorship to him:

"...In slightly more academic terms, University of Texas professor Christopher
Oglesby addresses similar misconceptions in Fire in the Water, Earth in the Air."

Awesome. Rock the hell on, you Texas press darling.
