Description
Duane's Depressed sequel explores the life of one of Larry McMurtry's most beloved characters in a haunting and elegiac novel. Back from a two-week trip to Egypt, Duane struggles to adjust to life in Thalia, his small West Texas hometown, where everything seems to have changed alarmingly. His office is no longer needed now that his son Dickie runs the company from Wichita Falls, and familiar hangouts like the convenience store have been replaced by new businesses. As he tries to find solace in Thalia, Duane realizes that he should have left long ago - everyone he cared for seems to have moved on without him. In this poignant novel, Duane's life is disrupted by his encounter with a young and attractive geologist, Annie Cameron, whom Dickie has hired to work out of the Thalia office. With its themes of loss, change, and human connection, When the Light Goes A Novel is a thought-provoking exploration of one man's struggle to find his place in the world.
