All My Friends Are Going to Be Strangers : A Novel

All My Friends Are Going to Be Strangers : A Novel by McMurtry, Larry. Paperback edition. ISBN: 9780684853826.

Ranging from Texas to California on a young writers journey in a car he calls El Chevy, All My Friends Are Going to Be Strangers is one of Larry McMurtrys most vital and entertaining novels. 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 wont stay, a neighbor as generous as she is lusty, and his pal Emma Horton. Its a wild ride toward literary fame and an uncharted country...beyond everyone he deeply loves. All My Friends Are Going to Be Strangers is a wonderful display of Larry McMurtrys unique gift: his ability to re-create the subtle textures of feelings, the claims of passing time and familiar place, and the rich interlocking swirl of peoples lives.
