Synopsis:
Elroy Bode's books on nature and life have made him a favorite of readers and critics. Here he explores his home city of El Paso, the land and people of Central Texas, and his roles as teacher, father, and writer. These sharply observed, beautifully written pieces find the universal in the particular — a young boy in a barbershop, plaza life, a young couple in Smokey’s Barbecue. In a Special Light discovers pleasure in the lives of ordinary people, and joy in the worlds in which they live.
About the Author: Elroy Bode (1931-2017) is the author of nine books, including Texas Sketchbook, Sketchbook II, Alone in the World Looking, This Favored Place: The Texas Hill Country, Commonplace Mysteries, Home Country: An Elroy Bode Reader, and El Paso Days. He is a former contributing editor for the Texas Observer and has twice received the Stanley Walker Award for Journalism from the Texas Institute of Letters. Bode, who taught in Texas public schools for forty-eight years, retired from Austin High School in El Paso. His work has appeared in the Nation, the Texas Quarterly, the Texas Observer, Redbook, the Southwest Review, and many other publications.
