Ebook {Epub PDF} Moving On by Larry McMurtry

Larry McMurtry’s Moving On is a big book—one reviewer called it Texas-sized—about a motely group of people and how their lives unfold and intersect with one another. A canvas this size affords McMurtry the opportunity to populate his story with a host of colorful, funny, serious, zany, rambunctious, sedate, and memorable characters, both /5.  · McMurtry takes great pains to show how Jim and Patsy's incompatibility is reflected and confirmed by their bedroom difficulties, which he returns to time and again, picking at the wound. Ultimately the novel throws cold water both on the traditional "establishment" way of life via the empty lives of Jim and Patsy's parents, as well as the decadence of the counterculture. This double length, in fact King ranch styled novel, which moves in and out of Texas, is the publisher's lead book and you may remember McMurtry's earliest successes—Horseman Pass By (Hud) or The last Picture Show. Moving On is not really ahead except in commercial terms and it goes on and on in a smoothly styleless, emulsified fashion. Mostly with Patsy Carpenter, Jim—her mild-tempered.
