Danny Deck (the hero of ALL MY FRIENDS ARE GOING TO BE STRANGERS) is now a successful, middle-aged Texan writer who has made a firtune in the TV business in L.A. and returned home to his quiet, expensive and eccentric way of life, keeping in touch with his girlfriends by leaving messages on their anwering machine all over the world, and avoiding any contact with the harsh realities of the rest of the real world as much as he can.

Into the quiet existence of this texas version of Oblomov, who spends his days lounging around in a kaftan, comes an unexpectived telephone call from T.R., the daughter he has never seen, which changes Danny's life, and those of everyone aruond him, including T.R. herself. She brings into her faterh's hesitant and somewhat fatalistic embrace her two children; one lover; Muddy, who is a failed burglar; and another, Earl Dee, who is perhaps Larry McMurtry's most chilling creation since Blue Duck in LONESOME DOVE. . .
