Dream No Little Dreams

By Travis Hale

Explaining the clash of cultures against the backdrop of such a seemingly barren canvas to those not familiar with Lubbock, Texas and the South Plains is difficult to do. The city's traditional foundation is weakened from a constant barrage of sledgehammer swings from talented natives that the city would love to claim as its own. But that's what makes it so interesting-the underlying tension that few can see and understand is always there, simmering. You'll never feel safer than when you're in Lubbock, but you can also hear the devils whispering in the wind if you listen closely enough. And it is that tension; that potent mixture of good and bad that I tried to capture in this work of fiction. Jarrell Robertson is a conglomerate of thousands of poor white-working class men, riding tractors or sipping coffee at a diner in a small farming community virtually anywhere in West Texas. It's a book about dreams. But it's also family, football and the choices an old man must make.
