Nominated for a Pulitzer Prize, East Texas Hot Links is a gripping character study, a lyrical masterpiece, and portrait of community. It is 1955 in the piney woods of East Texas and racial tensions are high, yet the Top O' the Hill Cafe remains a haven. There, regulars share stories, joke, unwind, and trade friendly barbs. The cafe is a refuge that keeps the outside world at bay, until a mysterious omen forces the outside in.
