Mark Twain once noted, "the difference between the almost right word and the right word is the difference between the lightning bug and the lightning." Leading writers of the Southwest make it their business to be lightning rods, and their journals, notes, correspondence, and manuscripts in the Wittliff's Southwestern Writers Collection document their struggles to find precisely the right word. This exhibition features drafts of work by Cormac McCarthy, Molly Ivins, Jim Hightower, Sam Shepard, Jovita Gonzalez, Rick Riordan, the King of the Hill writers, Texas Monthly journalists, and many others as it illustrates a variety of authors' compositional dilemmas and, through them, illuminates the how of creation. Fine-art prints from the Wittliff's Southwestern & Mexican Photography Collection complement the display, with portraits of photographers including Keith Carter, Graciela Iturbide, Russell Lee, and more. Presented in conjunction with Texas State's 2009-2010 Common Experience theme, "The Whole Mind." (http://www.txstate.edu/commonexperience). This exhibition will be celebrated at the grand reopening event on October 17, which is open to the public.

Mark Twain once noted, "the difference between the almost right word and the right word is the difference between the lightning bug and the lightning." Leading writers of the Southwest make it their business to be lightning rods, and their journals, notes, correspondence, and manuscripts in the Wittliff's Southwestern Writers Collection document their struggles to find precisely the right word. This exhibition features drafts of work by Cormac McCarthy, Molly Ivins, Jim Hightower, Sam Shepard, Jovita Gonzalez, Rick Riordan, the King of the Hill writers, Texas Monthly journalists, and many others as it illustrates a variety of authors' compositional dilemmas and, through them, illuminates the how of creation. Fine-art prints from the Wittliff's Southwestern & Mexican Photography Collection complement the display, with portraits of photographers including Keith Carter, Graciela Iturbide, Russell Lee, and more. Presented in conjunction with Texas State's 2009-2010 Common Experience theme, "The Whole Mind." (http://www.txstate.edu/commonexperience). This exhibition will be celebrated at the grand reopening event on October 17, which is open to the public.

Mark Twain once noted, "the difference between the almost right word and the right word is the difference between the lightning bug and the lightning." Leading writers of the Southwest make it their business to be lightning rods, and their journals, notes, correspondence, and manuscripts in the Wittliff's Southwestern Writers Collection document their struggles to find precisely the right word. This exhibition features drafts of work by Cormac McCarthy, Molly Ivins, Jim Hightower, Sam Shepard, Jovita Gonzalez, Rick Riordan, the King of the Hill writers, Texas Monthly journalists, and many others as it illustrates a variety of authors' compositional dilemmas and, through them, illuminates the how of creation. Fine-art prints from the Wittliff's Southwestern & Mexican Photography Collection complement the display, with portraits of photographers including Keith Carter, Graciela Iturbide, Russell Lee, and more. Presented in conjunction with Texas State's 2009-2010 Common Experience theme, "The Whole Mind." (http://www.txstate.edu/commonexperience). This exhibition will be celebrated at the grand reopening event on October 17, which is open to the public.
