About this title

About the Author:

Bryan Woolley began his writing career on the staff of the El Paso Times when he was still a teenager. After earning degrees at the University of Texas at El Paso, Texas Christian University, and Harvard, he served as an Associated Press correspondent in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and then as city editor of the Anniston Star in Alabama. In 1969 he joined the Courier-Journal in Louisville, Kentucky. In 1976 he moved to the Dallas Times Herald, and in 1989 to the Dallas Morning News, where he worked until his retirement in 2006. He lives in Dallas with his wife, the poet Isabel Nathaniel.

Review:

''Knowing that Bryan is one of the best writers in Texas, I expected November 22 to be an incisive, insightful look at the Dallas of 1963. It is. What left me thunderstruck was how relevant the book is to the Dallas--and America--of right now. Bryan was a couple of decades ahead of his time. I'm thrilled that this book is once again available for a wide audience.'' --Michael Merschel, the Dallas Morning News

''Bringing Bryan Woolley's novel November 22 back into print is a great idea. It's quite simply one of the best dissections of Big D on that dark day in 1963. Covering twenty-four hours, the novel puts us in the minds of figures both real and invented and some whose names have been changed. . . . The result is a rich cross section of a city more complex and diverse than many observers have been willing to acknowledge.'' --Don Graham, J. Frank Dobie Regents Professor of American and English Literature, Author of State of Minds: Texas Culture and Its Discontents

''There is no great Dallas novel, but November 22 is the closest thing to it.'' --D Magazine
