Hailed as one of "the best novels ever set in America's fourth
largest city" (Douglas Brinkley, New York Times Book Review), All
My Friends Are Going to Be Strangers is a powerful demonstration of
Larry McMurtry's "comic genius, his ability to render a sense of
landscape, and interior intellection tension" (Jim Harrison, New
York Times Book Review). Desperate to break from the "mundane
happiness" of Houston, budding writer Danny Deck hops in his car,
"El Chevy," bound for the West Coast on a road trip filled with
broken hearts and bleak realities of the artistic life. A cast of
unforgettable characters joins the naive troubadour's pilgrimage to
California and back to Texas, including a cruel, long-legged
beauty; an appealing screenwriter; a randy college professor; and a
genuine if painfully "normal" friend. Since the novel's publication
in 1972, Danny Deck has "been far more successful at getting loved
by readers than he ever was at getting loved by the women in his
life" (McMurtry), a testament to the author's incomparable talent
for capturing the essential tragicomedy of the human experience.
