LITERATURE + LECTURES

Brazos Bookstore is pleased to welcome editor David Theis and authors Rich Levy, Robb Walsh, and Tony Diaz for an in-store appearance on Wednesday, November 10, 2010, starting at 6:00 PM where they will discuss and sign the book Literary Houston.

The fifth in the "Literary Cities" series, Literary Houston gathers together historical and contemporary writing about this Texas city that everyone loves to hate. Rather than organize the pieces chronologically, Editor David Theis has assembled works according to themes such as biography and memoir; visitors; the city itself; events; poetry; and fiction. From Cabeza de la Vaca’s early experiences to the Enron debacle, Theis presents Houston in a new, critical light.

About the editor: David Theis moved to Houston in 1984 to study in the creative writing program at the University of Houston. He then began publishing journalism in Houston City Magazine, The Houstonian, Texas Observer, Texas Monthly, and numerous other publications.
 
In 1989 Theis became a staff writer for the Houston Press where he wrote news, features, and film reviews. In 2002 his novel Rio Ganges was published by Winedale Press. He is currently at work on a second novel.
