  9. Philipp Meyer on "The Son"

    In &quot;The Son," Philipp Meyer's sprawling multigenerational saga about a powerful Texas family, the author harvests the state's sad, passionate, often violent history, from its origins as an embattled republic to its present-day condition as an arid landscape sucked dry, literally, by a century of environmentally disastrous cattle ranching and irrigation-based agriculture. Along the way, Meyer &mdash; author of the critically acclaimed "American Rust" (2009) &mdash; tells the stories of the state's white settlers and their near-constant clashes with Native Americans and Mexicans, including now almost forgotten massacres of Mexican-Americans by Texas Rangers and others along the border in the early 20th century.
