Publisher Notes
Finally! McMurtry's long-awaited conclusion to The Last Picture Show and Texasville. Peopled with their funny, sad, and wonderful characters, Duane's Depressed follows those who have survived into their twilight years. This is the work of a powerful, mature artist with a deep understanding of the human condition. Utterly unsentimental, often hilarious, sometimes tragic and shocking, and yet full of hope, Duane's Depressed is one of McMurtry's strongest novels ever, a major work by any standard.
Media Reviews
"[W]hile there is a lot that is striking and moving in 'Duane's Depressed', there is something off about it, too. One of the difficulties is the use of language, or worse, the sensibility that the language implies."
