“In 2016 my dear friend the hotelier Liz Lambert, who owns El Cosmico in Marfa, held her wedding reception at her ranch nearby. She’s from West Texas—her family are cattle ranchers. The people who have opened businesses in Marfa all live in the town or are from Texas, so there’s a personal touch to everything. I live in New York, where I’m surrounded by buildings and people, hustle and bustle. Marfa, though, is true tumbleweeds. You can hear all the animals, bugs, and snakes clicking, rattling,…
