Dinner and a few good authors
 
Each spring since 2003, Literary Lubbock has offered West Texans a grand evening with Southwestern authors. If you're in the Lubbock area, we hope you can join us Friday, May 1, at Texas Tech's elegant Merket Alumni Center for a festive evening of fine dining, wine, and words.
 
This signature occasion brings together seven authors to speak about their new books on Texas, the Southwest, and beyond, and to visit with Literary Lubbock guests. The evening's proceeds benefit the Grover E. Murray Studies in the Southwest, honoring Tech's former president. Check out this year's schedule, sponsors, and roster of stars, and reserve your place now!
