With Texasville, Larry McMurtry returns to the unforgettable Texas town and entertaining characters from one of his best-loved books, The Last Picture Show.
This is a Texas-sized story brimming with home truths of the heart, and men and women we recognize, believe in, and care about deeply. Set in the post-oil-boom 1980s, Texasville brings us up to date with Duane, who’ s got an adoring dog, a sassy wife, a twelve-million-dollar debt, and a hot tub by the pool; Jacy, who’ s finished playing “ Jungla” in Italian movies and who’ s returned to Thalia; and Sonny— Duane’ s teenage rival for Jacy’ s affections— who owns the car wash, the Kwik-Sackstore, and the video arcade.
With his talent for writing lovable, eccentric characters, Texasville is one of Larry McMurtry’ s funniest and most touching contemporary novels.
