• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

From dusty flea markets in Texas to parties in Washington, DC, crawling with political hacks, Cadillac Jack is a classic American novel, timelier than ever.

Larry McMurtry's big hearted fiction has been lauded for taking us places we hadn't known existed (Joyce Carol Oates, New York Review of Books). Cadillac Jack does exactly that, inviting readers into the passenger seat of a pearl-colored Caddy with peach velourcovered seats, joining a rodeo-bulldogger-turned-antique- scout at the wheel. Superbly comic (Newsday), this rollicking tale echoes the cultural climate of America today, with the cagey yet charming Jack grappling with the capitol's pretentious elite. As he cruises through relationships with distinctively appealing womenincluding socialite boutique owner Cindy and discreet mother-of-two JeanJack realizes home for him will always be simply barreling down freeways in his Cadillac, wandering the country in search of another obscure treasure.

Bolstered with its cast of unforgettable characters, Cadillac Jack entices with the prospect of undiscovered riches around that next bend in the road.
