Ben Barnes at BookPeople Tonight

Look on any electoral map, and you’ll see Texas colored in bright Republican Red. Mention Texas politics, and most people will think of W and Delay and the conservative far right. But it hasn’t always been that way. In Barn Burning, Barn Burning, former Lieutenant Governor and political prodigy Ben Barnes discusses Texas’ Democratic past, the Democrats’ fall from power in Texas and nationally, and his own political career at a crucial time of transformation.
Barnes will be at BookPeople tonight to read from and sign his book.
