Larry McMurtry's Moving On, his epic first novel in the acclaimed
Houston series, has long been considered a defining tale of
"monumental honesty" worthy of great attention (New York Times).
Preceding Terms of Endearment by five years, it is essential
reading for anyone who appreciates the inherent genius of
McMurtry's late twentieth-century fiction. Moving On centers on the
life of Patsy Carpenter, one of his most beloved characters. After
calmly finishing a Hershey bar alone in her car, a restless Patsy
drives away from her lifeless marriage in search of a greater
purpose. In "precise and lyrical prose" (Boston Globe), McMurtry
reveals the complex, colorful lives of Pete, the rodeo clown;
high-spirited cowboy Sonny Shanks; and impassioned grad student
Hank. A critical work of American literature that "presents human
drama with sympathy and compassion" (Los Angeles Times), Moving On
unfolds a tale of perseverance and emotional survival in the
modern-day West.
