Title: McMurty writes a simple story.
Review: I have read just about everything by McMurtry and like the man. His nonfiction work 'Walter Benjamin at the Dairy Queen...' moved me. Larry suffered and did not feel like himself after open heart surgery. The writer who entertained was struggling just to be, let alone worrying about writing. Now he writes a simple story. 'Boone's Lick'. Maybe not an epic, but hopefully Larry is feeling more like himself. It is nice to see Larry writing and maybe he has another epic up his sleeve, and then again maybe he doesn't. It was nice getting to know Larry McMurtry and the man will always hold a special place in my heart. Anything he writes deserves to be read, just because he wrote it.
