Notes: "Between 1982 and 2007, Ivins contributed seventeen consistently sharp and funny articles to The Nation, starting with what might be described as her "Letters From Texas," in which she discussed political developments in the Lone Star State, whose zany politics were full of exotic people dubbed "The Gibber," "The Breck Girl" and "Governor Goodhair." Despite their humor, however, Ivins's pieces always delivered trenchant political commentary. And she could also write highly accomplished and fascinating cultural essays and book reviews."--Back cover.
