"The book is good, in many ways the best modern novel (three novellas, actually) about Texas. The setting is Austin, the vocation of the stories is politics, and the dominant figures are powerful, ruthless politicos--the most celebrated being Governor Fenstemaker, by now universally accepted as a caricature of Lyndon B. Johnson. THE GAY PLACE is a sad book, a fine book, and one that lovingly relates the pawing and snorting of the power structure. In that respect it holds up beautifully, because Austin, as a political society, never changes." --A.C. Greene THE 50 BEST BOOKS ON TEXAS
