I’ve long been a huge Larry McMurtry fan. While I don’t care for the Western genre and was never able to get into Lonesome Dove or any of his other westerns, I have very greatly enjoyed his novels about modern day Texans. My all time favorite is The Evening Star which was a sequel to Terms Of Endearment. I have also greatly enjoyed his sequence of novels about Duane Moore of the fictional Thalia, Texas which began in 1966 with The Last Picture Show and continued with Texasville in 1987, Duane’s Depressed in 1999 and finally in 2007 with When The Light Goes. It was thrilling to me to return for a few hours to McMurtry’s Texas and I say without hesitation that this volume finds McMurtry at the top of his form as a novelist.
