This is one of the finer works by McMurtry. It is a touching tale about a man on the wrong side of 60 finally thinking about who he is. You see Duane break things down to the essentials with who he is and what he needs. He gives up his truck. He gives up his fancy house. He gives all that up for something greater: Actually getting to know himself.It's one of the finer pieces of American existentialism out there. I highly recommend it.
