I think that was the first McMurtry novel I ever read, nearly 50 years ago. If I had to pick a favorite, though, it might be “Cadillac Jack”.
I had to read ‘Some Can Whistle’ three times to get it.
I've had that book on my shelf for 40 years...barely looked at it, I wanted to read the "REAL Larry McMurtry books," you know.
On your word I'll pick it up.
