Yet oddly enough, Duane's marriage, four children and nine grandchildren, his career highs and lows, all occurred when he was nowhere near his vehicle. Within days he has moved into his cabin on a hil...

It turns out you do. In Walter Benjamin at the Dairy Queen, Larry McMurtry comes the old pardner, and the result is a powerful elegy for the lost spaces in American life. He takes as his starting point an afternoon he spent at the Dairy Queen in Archer City, Texas, reading the pensees of early 20th-century German philosopher Walter Benjamin.

Instead, he meets Bill ``the Killer'' Miller and robs an armored truck. Unfortunately, Charley's just a ``big hick'' who can't get over the fact that he has more than $5,000 in his pocket; so, despite the warning from boarding-house matron Ma Ash not t...

Crazy Horse (Thorndike Large Print Basic Series) [LARGE PRINT]
Larry McMurtry / Hardcover / Published May 1999
Price: $28.95 - Ships in 24 hours
In writing his superb life of Crazy Horse, Larry McMurtry faced the same obstacle as every previous biographer of the Oglala Sioux icon: a notable paucity of facts. This didn't inhibit such chroniclers as Mari Sandoz or Stephen Ambrose (whose dual portrait of Crazy Horse and George Custer featured a certain amount of authorial ventriloquism). In this case, however, the shortage of documentation actually works to the reader's advantage. Unencumbered by reams of scholarly detail, McMurtry's book has the shapeliness and inevitability of a fine novella. The author may describe it as an "exercise i...
