He has written vividly in fiction and nonfiction about everything from the early days of the Texas Republic to the making of the atomic bomb. His real gift has been to capture the Texas Zeitgeist. Legendary \u003ci\u003eHarper's Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e editor Willie Morris called Shrake's essay \"Land of the Permanent Wave\" one of the two best pieces Morris ever published during his tenure at the magazine.
