Overview

Author and political commentator David Griscom will be at The Garden District Book Shop on April 17

Author and political commentator David Griscom will be at The Garden District Book Shop on April 17 to celebrate the release of his debut book The Myth of Red Texas: Cowboys, Populism, and Class War in the Radical South. 


In blood-red states such as Texas, politics operates under the fallacy that these places were always conservative, so that it would be foolish, even utopian, to propose a progressive alternative. The Myth of Red Texas reassesses this misconception, arguing that the Lone Star Left must embrace its hidden past to reach a brighter future.


The evening will begin at 6:00 PM. Griscom will be joined in conversation by fellow political commentator and editor of Current Affairs Nathan Robinson. After their discussion Griscom will be available to personalize copies of his book and answer guest’s questions. The event is free and open to the public but interested parties are encouraged to RSVP and reserve their copies of Tailbone ahead of time on Eventbrite.
