About this listen

Surrounded by his children, who all seem to be going through life crises, and his wife, who is wrestling with her own demons, small-town Texas local Duane Moore can't seem to make sense of his life anymore. To the perplexity of his family and friends, he ditches his pickup, starts walking everywhere, and moves to a crude shack six miles out of town. But his attempts to go off the grid are far from successful, and he struggles with increasing depression.

McMurtry did a beautiful job of describing the emotions felt by the lead character, Duane, while he is going through massive changes in his life. The story is deep and meaningful and I walked away feeling his emotions. This may sound like a bad thing based on the depression he was experiencing, but it was not. However, the narration did not do the book justice. The story was narrated in a monotone which may have been the narrators take on the state of Duane's mental health. But, no matter how hard I tried, I did not hear "Duane" in the narrator. It was the most unpleasant part of the whole story for me.

Duane's Depressed and I felt it

Finished Lonesome Dove prior to this. wad neat to have something more of this period and still have the magic detail he writes with. can't wait for the next one.

I just love Mcmurtry.

Might be my favorite LM story. Duane would say “go for it”. The ultimate story of life, living, and all….

Five stars, highly recommend
