Title: travel that goes nowhere
Product review: I couldn't even bring myself to finish this book. Yes, the author travels (though this book is more driving writing than travel writing), but other than brief descriptions of a town he passes through, or the empty field next to the road he's on, the majority of this book is just boring anecdotes, and remarks on his own assorted works, which he mentions quite frequently. If I wanted to read LONESOME DOVE, i would have bought it. He almost never stops driving, he doesn't talk to anybody, and on top of that he chooses to drive some of the world's most boring stretches of highway. This kind of travel and this kind of writing do not suit McMurtry's storytelling style. Do us all a favor Larry and leave he road trips to the college students . . .
