Beskrivning
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.
