The Last Kind Words Saloon by Larry Mcmurtry
A stunning new novel from the bestselling author of Lonesome Dove
Larry McMurtry possesses one of the most engaging, tempting-to-imitate voices in contemporary American fiction, a voice so smooth and mellow you can almost hear the ice clink against the glass as he talks * New York Times Book Review *
By turns droll, stark, wry, or raunchy, this peripatetic novel..will satisfy many readers who long for more from literary icon McMurtry * Library Journal *
In this "ballad in prose" as McMurtry describes his latest book, he paints the familiar historical characters in unfamiliar ways . . . lovely * People *
A deftly narrated, often comically subversive work of fiction . . . If Lonesome Dove is a chronicle of the cattle-driving West that contains within its vast, broad ranges a small but heartrending intimate tragedy of paternal neglect, The Last Kind Words Saloon is a dark postmodernist modernist comedy -- Joyce Carol Oates * New York Review of Books *
