Published in 2004, the book describes the adventures of a high-energy physicist following the surprise announcement that a Chinese physicist (with whom he had a long-ago romance) had discovered the long-sought Higgs boson. Parts of the plot are based on the aborted Superconducting Super Collider project. Published by Little, Brown and Company, {{ISBN|0-316-52590-1}}. Literary significance and receptionKirkus Reviews said that A Hole In Texas was "Ingenious. Absolutely ingenious."[1] Publishers Weekly called it "Occasionally corny but also playful, thoughtful and passionate".[2] The journal Science said that Wouk "accurately depicts science as an often interactive and collegial enterprise", and that the novel offers a "refreshing contrast with the treatments of mad scientists that are so abundant in literature and popular culture."[3] The review in Nature had some criticism, saying that the "scientific explanations are pat and usually come in the form of long e-mails that bog down the plot", that the discussions of the Chinese people "verge on racism", and that the book's ending "falls flat".[4]Notes1. ^{{cite journal|date=February 15, 2004|title=A HOLE IN TEXAS (Book)|journal=Kirkus Reviews|volume= 72|issue= 4|pages=154|issn=0042-6598}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Hole In Texas, A}}{{2000s-novel-stub}}2. ^{{cite journal|date=March 22, 2004|title=A HOLE IN TEXAS (Book)|journal=Publishers Weekly|volume= 251|issue= 12|pages=60|issn=0000-0019}} 3. ^{{cite journal |doi=10.1126/science.1106083 |last=Pasachoff |first=Jay M |date=October 22, 2004 |title=Of Politics and Particle Physics |journal=Science |volume=306 |issue= 5696 |pages=615 |issn=0036-8075}} 4. ^{{cite journal| doi=10.1038/429808a |last=Brumfiel |first=Geoff|date=June 24, 2004 |title=Requiem for a supercollider |journal=Nature |volume= 429 |issue= 6994 |pages=808–809 |issn=0028-0836}} 6 : 2004 American novels|Books about the history of science|Novels about NASA|Novels by Herman Wouk|Novels set in Texas|Works about particle physics |
