Description

 							
  
  Master storyteller Larry McMurtry
unfurls a short, bright banner of a book following the fortunes of the Cecil family as they travel from Boone's Lick,
Missouri, to the Western frontier. Though the story is narrated by her oldest son, 15-year-old Shay, the real hero of
the book is Mary Margaret, the mother. Her husband, Dick, has left her and their four children in Boone's Lick while he
seeks his fortunes in the West. Mary Margaret lives contentedly with the children and Dick's brother, Seth, until one
day she decides she's had enough of playing the estranged wife and packs up the entire household. And so the Cecil
family leaves their little town (where Wild Bill Hickok makes a cameo appearance) and travels by wagon to Wyoming,
accompanied along the way by a fat Québecois priest and a Shoshone. They do find Dick, and they also arrive in
Wyoming just in time for the 1866 Fetterman Massacre.
  
  McMurtry writes with an ease that younger writers
would do well to emulate. Here Seth fights off an ambush of white trash dastards:
  
  Uncle Seth fired again
and a third horse went down--though just saying it went down would be to put it too mildly. The third horse turned a
complete somersault. Its rider flew off about thirty feet, after which he didn't move.
  
  "'It's rare to see
a horse turn a flip like that,' Uncle Seth observed." That cool "observed" gives an idea of the book's wry, pervasive
humor. But there's more here than shooting and quipping: McMurtry's wagon full of frustrated Missourians makes a fine
narrative vehicle: we get a first-hand account of the Native American wars; we get the perspective of the women left
behind in the opening of the West; we get a wagon's-eye view of the hard journey of the settlers; and, ultimately, we
get an insightful family romance. All that, and scalpings too. --Claire Dederer
  
  
  
  Moving On is a big, powerful novel about men
and women in the American West. Set in the 1960s against the backdrop of the honky-tonk glamour of the rodeo and the
desperation of suburban Houston, it is the story of the restless and lovable Patsy Carpenter, one of Larry McMurtry's
most unforgettable characters.
  
  Patsy -- young, beautiful, with a sharp tongue and an irresistible charm
-- and her shiftless husband, Jim, are adrift in the West. Patsy moves through affairs of the heart like small towns --
there's Pete, the rodeo clown, and Hank, the graduate student, and others -- always in search of the life that seems
ever receding around the next bend.
  
  Peopled with a riotously colorful cast of highbrows, cowpokes, and
rodeo queens, in its wry humor, tenderness, and epic panorama, Moving On is a celebration of our land by one of
America's best-loved authors. Moving On is vintage McMurtry.
