Matthew McConaughey, the Texas Minister of Culture, discusses his new book and more

By now, I imagine you have heard something about Matthew McConaughey’s new book, “Greenlights.”

The book, which hit shelves in late October and is atop The New York Times bestsellers list, chronicles the life experiences of UT’s most famous alum and fan.

McConaughey, a South Texas native who grew up in Longview, shares details about his family, his upbringing, his life experiences in Austin, making it big in Hollywood, and the trials and tribulations of everything along the way.

The book is written in a familiar cadence — filled with humorous anecdotes and punchlines that deliver.
