Book Description:
Texans have a very special God. He serves them overdoses of everything...pain, poverty, riches, heat, history. McMurtry catches it all in TEXASVILLE.

Remember THE LAST PICTURE SHOW? Thalia, in the '50s. Duanne and Jacy necking on the team bus, the echoing hopes and dreams of our last innocent generation. Well, this is its sequel.

Thalia got in the way of the oil boom and Duanne got rich. But all the money does is show how empty his life is. The boom turns to bust. In the crisis, Duanne and his fellow Thalians prove once again that Texans do indeed have a very special God!

"As funny and entertaining as THE LAST PICTURE SHOW, except that the characters have aged, so the humor is bittersweet. A fine and satisfying story." (B-O-T Editorial Review Board)

Okay, I really liked this book by the author of Lonesome Dove and "The Last Picture Show". Depressing in a comical vein.
