Becoming Kinky . . . The World According to Kinky Friedman

And now for something completely Kinky: the Houston Press review for Becoming Kinky. As the Press puts it, Becoming Kinky "captures an essence of something so Texan, so decent and so cool that all of us born between the Rio Grande, the Red River and the Sabine will be proud to claim it as our own."

For insight into what it takes for actor Jesse Dayton to portray The Kinkster, we invite you to check out the Houston Chronicle's interview with the man Kinky has chosen "to misrepresent me."

And as for Politics . . .

Kinky may be finished with politics, but politics may not be finished with Kinky. He continues to be a popular guest on cable news channels, appearing with hosts as diverse as John Seigenthaler and Bill O’Reilly, and his regular contributions to Texas Monthly never fail to take proper shots at the insanity of Texas politics. He also contributes to such national media as The New York Times and Playboy, more often than not skewing deserving politicians wherever they may be.
