It's a wild ride toward literary fame and an uncharted country...beyond everyone he deeply loves. <I>All My Friends Are Going to Be Strangers</I> is a wonderful display of Larry McMurtry's unique gift: his ability to re-create the subtle textures of feelings, the claims of passing time and familiar place, and the rich interlocking swirl of people's lives.<P> 524271 1972 All My Friends Are Going to Be Strangers : A Novel total:611|5:4|4:10|3:5|2:0|1:0| 611 2384 778 69 5 1 false false Wed Mar 19 18:20:24 -0700 2008 Wed Mar 19 18:40:31 -0700 2008
