As one of the leading cities of the modern south, Dallas, Texas is associated with a great deal of modern American history and culture. Home to the Mavericks, the Stars, and the Cowboys, Dallas has built a sports legend matched by only a few other cities. Whether one thinks of oil or even the depiction of such in the television series Dallas, the city has come to mean a great many things to different people. For those whose lives span far enough back, Dallas is associated with the tragic killing of President Kennedy. And while the tragedy tarnished its image for a time, Dallas has embraced its history and is fully prepared to tell its story on its own terms. Come along with Keith Pruitt and Rebekka Pruitt and they will take you to all the many sites and adventures of the greater Dallas Metroplex.
Texas is historically a large beer-drinking state. Unlike the brewing heritage of the Central Texas German settlements, the North Texas area--Dallas, Fort Worth and the cities of the surrounding Metroplex--always approached local beers from more of a commercial standpoint. Though local brewing dates back to 1857, early, larger brewers from other states influenced those in Dallas and Fort Worth before and throughout the twentieth century. After the opening of the first craft brewery in the state (and sixth in the nation) in Plano in 1982, North Texas breweries began to flourish in later years and today find a consuming public fiercely devoted to their local brews. Join authors Paul Hightower and Brian L. Brown for a complete yet refreshing look at the history, business and fun of beer in North Texas.

What really (might have) happened when Jack Ruby, nightclub owner, brass knuckle-slinger, and inveterate fan of Corbusier, decided to kill the killer of JFK? In this first-ever trade publication of Bob Trammell’s work, Jack Ruby mythos loops between fact, fiction, and spectacle to satirize Dallas’ place on the world stage. Jack Ruby & The Origins of the Avant-Garde in Dallas caricaturizes everyone from Bob Thornton to Joseph Beuys; fodder for JFK conspiracy theorists, innuendo-readers, ingenious speculators, and pursuers of The Truth About Dallas At Large. With an introduction by Ben Fountain and afterword by David Searcy, this volume also includes Trammell’s “Quiet Man” story cycle from over the course of his long, countercultural writing career, lamenting a generation that lost much by embarking on a search for themselves in a city—and world—unwilling to support its brightest artists.
