Preceding \u003cem\u003eTerms of Endearment\u003c\/em\u003e by five years, it is essential reading for anyone who appreciates the inherent genius of McMurtry's late twentieth-century fiction. \u003cem\u003eMoving On\u003c\/em\u003e centers on the life of Patsy Carpenter, one of his most beloved characters. After calmly finishing a Hershey bar alone in her car, a restless Patsy drives away from her lifeless marriage in search of a greater purpose. In \"precise and lyrical prose\" (\u003cem\u003eBoston Globe\u003c\/em\u003e), McMurtry reveals the complex, colorful lives of Pete, the rodeo clown; high-spirited cowboy Sonny Shanks; and impassioned grad student Hank. A critical work of American literature that \"presents human drama with sympathy and compassion\" (\u003cem\u003eLos Angeles Times\u003c\/em\u003e), \u003cem\u003eMoving On\u003c\/em\u003e unfolds a tale of perseverance and emotional survival in the modern-day West.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eMcMurtry, Larry:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eLarry McMurtry\u003c\/strong\u003e is an award-winning novelist, essayist, and avid bookseller and collector, who won an Academy Award for the screenplay of \u003cem\u003eBrokeback Mountain\u003c\/em\u003e with cowriter Diana Ossana.
