Watch a video of our conversation with Pulitzer Prize-winning author Lawrence Wright, focusing on his new book, "God Save Texas: A Journey into the Soul of the Lone Star State." This conversation was moderated by Texas Tribune co-founder and CEO Evan Smith.

Wright is a staff writer for The New Yorker, a screenwriter, a playwright, the author of 10 previous books and the keyboard player for Austin band WhoDo. He is the author of "The Looming Tower: Al-Qaeda and the Road to 9/11," which was translated into 25 languages and won the Pulitzer Prize for General Nonfiction in 2007. He also co-produced HBO’s Emmy award-winning documentary "Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief.”

Wait! We need your help.

More than 2 million people read Texas Tribune articles every month, but only 12,000 of those readers also donate to support the news they count on. Not even 1% of readers! If you are one of the 99% of Texas Tribune readers who hasn’t made a donation before in support of independent Texas news, you can change that today. A small donation makes a big impact.

Our Spring Member Drive is an important time to help our newsroom plan for what resources will be available for them to tackle longer investigations and bigger projects later this year. Texas Tribune journalists need the support of readers to write the articles, take the photographs and create the data visualizations that impact Texans and Texas policy.

We have a goal to have 500 readers become Texas Tribune members during our Spring Member Drive. As the Tribune member community grows, the journalism you read here is better protected. Will you make a donation today to show your support of independent Texas news?
