A sendup of Texas politics has been selected for the 2023 Mayor’s Book Club. It’s called “Mr. Texas,” the new novel by Pulitzer Prize-winning Austin author Lawrence Wright. Get a preview at an author talk at Austin Central Library at 7 p.m. Nov. 27, introduced by Mayor Kirk Watson and moderated by The 19th CEO Emily Ramshaw. “As you read this novel, I hope you’ll consider how Austin connects voices across all of Texas, from all walks of life, which Wright captures with deadpan wit,” Watson said. “And through the laughter, Wright asks us to imagine a Texas that isn’t hampered by partisan politics.”
