Dead Man's Walk

“Dead Man’s Walk is a very good read … [It] will keep you reading [and] make you miss meals.” –Seattle Times“Dead Man’s Walk… succeeds marvelously … resurrecting two brilliantly conceived characters and delivering a rousing tale of the Wild West.”–Michael Berry, San Francisco Chronicle

“Gee-haw! Larry McMurtry is back in the yarn-slinging business–with a vengeance… . Readers will gobble up Dead Man’s Walk–a wild and wooly read–from cover to cover.”–Denver Post“In Dead Man’s Walk, McMurtry uses a simple, wry, immensely accessible storyteller’s voice to ponder the same questions that Melville and Conrad did. This is a great book… . Larry McMurtry, at his best here, is one of the finest American novelists, ever. We are lucky he’s around.”–John Milius, Los Angeles Times“McMurtry does great characters. Call and McCrae are real, lifelike, believable, and lovable… . McMurtry’s stories are brimming with passion and page-turning excitement… It’s good, good stuff.”–Kansas City Star“McMurtry remains a good storyteller, and he remains a master of dialogue, doing a sort of frontier version of Oscar Wilde.”–Washington Post Book World
