#2 - big wonderful thing by Stephen Harrigan - Best Reads of 2023 alexjoyner.com/2024/01/01/2-b…

.Stephen Harrigan’s THE GATES OF THE ALAMO is my chosen background read to start 2024. I’ve heard wonderful things about it. I’m really looking forward to getting lost in its 732 pages.

Thank you. And no doubt there are probably a lot of Americans who still regard Texas as a foreign country.

Here's a piece I wrote for the Alcalde, the University of Texas alumni magazine, about what it was like to visit Vietnam, arriving with both a suitcase and a lot of baggage. alcalde.texasexes.org/2024/04/flying…

I wrote my first cover story for Texas Monthly in 1974. Fifty years later, it's a hard habit to break.

Calling all lapsed Catholics! Join me on my book tour for Sorrowful Mysteries: The Shepherd Children of Fatima and the Fate of the Twentieth Century.

What a beautifully written, respectful, victim-focused story. Terrible miscarriage of justice. 💔 Thank you Stephen Harrigan

The New York Times weighs in on my new book with this extremely welcome review by Robert P. Baird. nytimes.com/2025/04/17/boo… via The New York Times

Happy 25th anniversary to this little book.

This piece by the legend Stephen Harrigan is outstanding journalism. Chilling and sad, but outstanding.

It's May 13, the day in 1917 when three children in Fatima, Portugal claimed they saw the Virgin Mary. Their story is the subject of my new book Sorrowful Mysteries: The Shepherd Children of Fatima and the Fate of the Twentieth Century, from Alfred A. Knopf

Friday, join Stephen Harrigan to discuss SORROWFUL MYSTERIES - a detailed and extraordinarily compassionate examination of the phenomenon of Our Lady of Fatima - w/ Thomas Mallon - 7PM @ P&P The Wharf - bit.ly/43sOcgG
