"Bill Minutaglio writes about Texas with an intimacy honed over years of exploring neighborhoods
and personalities during his residencies in Houston, Dallas, Abilene and San Antonio. Yet this well-known journalist won't
be invited to contribute to the glossy travel magazines any time soon. That's because Minutaglio's favorite subjects are the
very places that tourists – and even many long-time residents – avoid . . . .In each of these pieces, he pushes journalism to its limits
. . . . a
book as deeply felt and well written as this one has made a believer out of me . . . . This commitment to the story behind the story sets this book
apart, and will keep you thinking – and feeling – long after you have put it down" Ted Gioia, The
Dallas Morning News

"You don't have to search for the blues
because the blues always find you. In the introduction to his dazzling new collection of journalism, 'In Search of the Blues:
A Journey to the Soul of Black Texas,' Bill Minutaglio anticipates this reaction when he writes, 'You can search for the blues
and you will find them — or they will find you' . . . 'In Search of the Blues'
is not only "a
celebration of the blues, black culture and black Texans but a celebration of extraordinary journalism and writing."
-- Cary Clack, San Antonio Express-News
