INEQUALITY IN THE LONE STAR STATE
Edna Ferber, 1924 Pulitzer Prize-winner, captures the essence of Texas, its "staggering bigness--and pathetic littleness--of a country within a country," in her novel, Giant. Published in 1952, Leslie Benedict's story of moving to the Lone Star State to marry a wealthy cattle rancher harnesses the largeness of mind required to thrive in Texas and how suffocating that can be for the immigrant and disadvantaged.
