Description

FROM PULITZER PRIZE-WINNING AUTHOR LARRY MCMURTRY "Larry McMurtry is one of American literature's native treasures" Boston Herald Danny Deck is on the verge of success as an author when he flees Houston and hurtles unexpectedly into the hearts of three women: a girlfriend who makes him happy but who won't stay; a neighbour as generous as she is lusty; and his pal, Emma Horton. It's a wild ride towards literary fame and an unchartered border country . . . beyond everyone he deeply loves. All My Friends Are Going To Be Strangers is a wonderful display of Larry McMurtry's unique gifts: his ability to recreate the subtle textures of feelings, the claims of passing time and familiar places, and the rich interlocking swirl of people's lives. PRAISE FOR ALL MY FRIENDS ARE GOING TO BE STRANGERS "Brilliant . . . funny and dangerously tender" Time "Richly suggestive. All My Friends Are Going to Be Strangers is a document for our times" Southwestern American Literature
