Sobre este artículo
New York: Simon and Schuster. Near Fine in Very Good+ dust jacket. 1989. First Edition; First Printing. 1/4 Cloth. 0671642677 . A nice first edition/first printing in Near Fine, seemingly unread condition in Very Good+ dust-jacket with some light edge wear and soiled area on front panel; Larry McMurtry's Some Can Whistle is a novel about a group of men in their late 20s and early 30s who are struggling to figure out their lives. The men are down on their luck and have a lot of problems, but they also have a lot of commonality. They all grew up in small towns and have been unsuccessful in finding jobs that fit them. They all have relationships with women that are difficult, and they all feel like they're missing out on something. The men spend their days drinking, smoking, and playing cards. They also spend a lot of time talking about their lives and their problems. McMurtry does a great job of capturing the feel of a small town in the 1980s. Some Can Whistle is a well-written and interesting novel that is sure to appeal to fans of McMurtry's novels.; FSA .
Sinopsis
"Mr. Deck, are you my stinkin' Daddy?" In a furious phone call from T.R., the daughter he's never met, Danny Deck gets the jolt of his life. A TV writer who's retired to his Texas mansion, Danny spends his days talking to the answering machines of his ex-lovers from New York to Paris and dreaming of the characters in the sitcom he's created. But suddenly, a hurricane called T.R. is storming into his life... In his most moving and richly comic contemporary novel since Texasville, Larry McMurtry returns to the modern West he created so masterfully in The Last Picture Show and Terms of Endearment. Some Can Whistle spins a tale of Hollywood glitz and Texas grit; of an extraordinary young woman and a murderous young man; and of a middle-aged millionaire running head-on into the longings, joys, and pathos of real life.
