That's your first lesson in East Texas-where words stretch like summer days and stories run deeper than the Red River itself. In Fire Ants, O'Banion delivers a witty, unvarnished portrait of growing up in that forgotten corner of the map where Texas, Arkansas, and Louisiana blur together-Texarkana, the town that can't quite decide which state it belongs to, or if it even wants to.

Born from the ashes of an offhand remark about "a man from nowhere," these essays took root and refused to die-like the stubborn "far aints" of their title. What began as a detour from a stalled novel became a vibrant, darkly funny, and deeply human collection about small-town oddities, family legacies, fried turkeys gone wrong, four-wheeler flips dubbed "903ers," and the peculiar beauty of a place that exists halfway between myth and memory.

These aren't stories of oil barons or tumbleweeds. They're stories of dirt bikes, church picnics, and the subtle heartbreak of realizing your hometown will never make Garden & Gun. From chicken magnates to high school beauty queens, from ER nurses to backyard philosophers, the voices in Fire Ants hum with regional humor, contradiction, and tenderness.
