While there is no 'great Houston Novel,' a lot of good stories have come out of the city, many of which are told in David Theis's Literary Houston, an anthology of writing on and about 'the Bayou city'. Stories, because Houston is a place where people come to DO things. 'To fly to the moon, create empires, build fortresses against cancer, and temples to surrealism' as Theis puts it.
I met him recently at a cafe just off Houston's busy Westheimer street. Seems like everwhere we moved something or someone very noisy decided to followed us. Still, we had an interesting conversation. Hope you enjoy it.
