In our Season 2 finale (probably--we haven\'t figured it out for sure), we welcome our friend Tracy Daugherty, the author of many books of nonfiction and fiction, to discuss his recent books in both genres, as well as a trio of short essays he selected. Also: the Sixties, West Texas, a West Texas cocktail, country music, the return of our resident mixologist, another mystery guest who stays mostly off-mic, and a lightning round.\\n\\xa0\\nEpisode links:\\n\\xa0\\nTracy Daugherty\\u2019s website: www.tracydaugherty.com\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nThe three essays we discuss: https://www.dropbox.com/s/uoq5co0vjk4215j/3%20essays%20for%20Podcast.pdf?dl=0\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nTracy\\u2019s most recent book, the novella High Skies: https://redhenpress.org/products/high-skies-by-tracy-daugherty\\n\\xa0\\nTracy\\u2019s recent nonfiction book, Dante and the Early Astronomer: https://yalebooks.yale.edu/book/9780300239898/dante-and-early-astronomer\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nTracy\\u2019s biography of Billy Lee Brammer: https://utpress.utexas.edu/books/daugherty-leaving-the-gay-place\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nTracy\\u2019s most recent essay collection, Let Us Build Us a City: https://www.indiebound.org/book/9780820350813\\n\\xa0\\nTracy\\u2019s bestselling 2017 biography of Joan Didion, The Last Love Song: https://www.powells.com/book/the-last-love-song-9781250105943\\xa0\\nSend us your submissions for Elena\'s flash anthology, and your essay nominations for BAE & the Pushcart!
