At the height of the sixties, a group of Texas writers - the Mad Dogs: Bud Shrake, Larry L. King, Billy Lee Brammer, Gary Cartwright, Dan Jenkins, and Peter Gent - stood apart from Texas's conservative establishment. Steven L. Davis makes extensive use of untapped literary archives to weave a fascinating portrait of writers who came of age during a period of rapid social change.
