Part Two Of Two Parts Patsy, young and beautiful, takes the easy road. With Jim, her shiftless husband, she drifts through the West, from one rodeo and honky-tonk to another. She and Jim are looking for something, neither knows exactly what. Patsy moves through affairs of the heart like Sherman through Georgia—there's Pete, the rodeo clown; Hank, the graduate student; and others too numerous to remember. Jim looks for fulfillment on the bulls he rides, closing his eyes to the real world. For the two of them, life seems always receding around the next bend, the next turn of the road. "Funny and believable characters to care about. Vintage McMurtry." (B-O-T Editorial Review Board)
