From the haunting sensitivity of 'The Piano Tuner', to the vivid raucousness of 'Texas Clam Bake', and the wild, sex-and-drugs fantasy of 'The Fishing Trip', Mike Lowrie takes the reader on a journey through a Texas many readers may not be familiar with. Gone are the cliché cowboys and tumbleweeds of routine Texas fiction from days gone by. Mike Lowrie’s Texas stories feature a wide and varied cast of characters and events, such as the day to day goings-on in a major symphony orchestra in 'The Piano Tuner', or a strong independent woman taking care of herself - and others - in 'She’s No Barbie'. Young African American boys are the heroes in 'Good Deeds'. There’s even a lesbian biker gang in 'Texas Clam Bake'. Drawing from his own experiences growing up in Texas, the author writes from the perspective of a different character in each story, capturing the essence of a different kind of Texas - and different kinds of Texan. The stories may be tall, but there is a wonderful ring of truth about all of them. 3
