When the Light Goes - Larry Mcmurtry

Descriere & specificații

In this sequel to the acclaimed Duane's Depressed, the Pulitzer Prize- and Oscar]-winning writer crafts an intimate portrait of an eccentric, aging oil man struggling to come to terms with the death of his wife. nIn this masterful and often surprising sequel to the acclaimed Duane's Depressed, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Lonesome Dove has written a haunting, elegiac, and occasionally erotic novel about one of his most beloved characters. Back from a two-week trip to Egypt, Duane finds he cannot readjust to life in Thalia, the small, dusty West Texas hometown in which he has spent all of his life. In the short time he was away, it seems that everything has changed alarmingly. His office barely has a reason to exist now that his son Dickie is running the company from Wichita Falls, his lifelong friends seem to have suddenly grown old, his familiar hangout--once a good old-fashioned convenience store--has been transformed into an Asian Wonder Deli, his daughters seem to have taken leave of their senses and moved on to new and strange lives, and his own health is at serious risk. It's as if Duane cannot find any solace or familiarity in Thalia and cannot even bring himself to revisit the house he shared for decades with his late wife, Karla, and their children and grandchildren. He spends his days aimlessly riding his bicycle (already a sign of serious eccentricity in West Texas) and living in his cabin outside town. The more he tries to get back to the rhythm of his old
