This particular handful of characters went from poverty to great things later, and included John Cheever, Ralph Ellison, Zora Neale Hurston, Richard Wright, Margaret Walker, Jim Thomspon, Anzia Yezierska, Vardis Fisher, Kenneth Rexroth, Meridel Le Sueur, and Studs Terkel. In the 1930s, they were all caught up in an effort to describe America in a series of guidebooks and life histories.

David Taylor traces this fascinating story through the lives of three men and their families, who were all drawn into this dangerous intersection of enterprise and espionage.

James and Annetta White opened the Broken Spoke in 1964, then a mile south of the Austin city limits, and for more than 50 years, the Broken Spoke has served up, in the words of White’s well-worn opening speech, “...cold beer, good whiskey, the best chicken fried steak in town...and good country music.” White paid 32 dollars to his first opening act, D. G. Burrow and the Western Melodies, back in 1964. Today the original rustic, barn-style building still sits on South Lamar, a tribute and remembrance to an Austin that has almost vanished.

Iconic actors, jealousy, tantrums, and a legendary producer’s struggle to transform the tempestuous, ill-fated union of Anne Boleyn and Henry VIII to the big screen all factor into this dramatic, behind-the-scenes story of how the popular Broadway play Anne of the Thousand Days became the quintessential Anne Boleyn movie. Richard Burton and Geneviève Bujold lit up the screen in this tragic romance, but some of the most exciting scenes were those not caught on film and which centered on a real or imagined love triangle.
