Description
At sixty-two, Duane Moore abruptly abandons his pickup truck and begins walking everywhere, unsettling his wife, Karla, and the small Texas community that has always regarded him as its steady center. As family crises, old rivalries, and the weight of the past converge, Duane retreats to an isolated shack and reluctantly begins therapy, confronting a depression he sees reflected throughout his world. With warmth, wit, and unsentimental insight, the novel explores marriage, aging, mental health, family responsibility, and the difficult search for a more honest way to live. It offers a poignant, reflective conclusion to the saga begun in *The Last Picture Show* and continued in *Texasville*.
