Sobre este artículo
New York: Simon and Schuster, 2001. Uncorrected Proof. Trade paperback. Fine. This is a proof copy, issued in printed yellow wrappers prior to the first edition.
Paradise is one of McMurtry's late, enigmatic non-fiction books, here described on the dust jacket as "an inviting travel book [about a voyage to Tahiti] and an insightful reflection on his parents' marriage." On its face, not the most promising of premises, but it's useful to remember that McMurtry was a fine writer. Your cataloguer's wife, herself a novelist and non-fiction writer, read Paradise on our recent trip to Tahiti. Her first response was, "Well, I guess if you are Larry McMurtry and you write 30,000 words on Tahiti, they let you publish it as a book." A few months later, when the book came up in conversation, she added to her initial assessment: "That book on Tahiti is fucking amazing."
159 pages. Fine paperback, with the publisher's information sticker on the front cover.
