Some Can Whistle -- Larry McMurtry

<b>McMurtry's follow-up to <i>All My Friends Are Going to Be Strangers</i> will capture a whole new audience, opening up the world of the now-millionaire Danny Deck and his strong and passionate daughter T.R..</b> <p/>"Mr. Deck, are you my stinkin' Daddy?" In a furious phone call from T.R., the daughter he's never met, Danny Deck gets the jolt of his life. A TV writer who's retired to his Texas mansion, Danny spends his days talking to the answering machines of his ex-lovers from New York to Paris and dreaming of the characters in the sitcom he's created. But suddenly, a hurricane called T.R. is storming into his life... <p/>In his most moving and richly comic contemporary novel since Texasville, Larry McMurtry returns to the modern West he created so masterfully in <i>The Last Picture Show</i> and <i>Terms of Endearment. Some Can Whistle</i> spins a tale of Hollywood glitz and Texas grit; of an extraordinary young woman and a murderous young man; and of a middle-aged millionaire running head-on into the longings, joys, and pathos of real life.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Larry McMurtry<br><b>Publisher:</b> Simon & Schuster<br><b>Published:</b> 11/12/2002<br><b>Pages:</b> 304<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.55lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 7.99h x 5.29w x 0.69d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780743230162<br><p><b>About the Author</b><br>Larry McMurtry (1936-2021) was the author of twenty-nine novels, including the Pulitzer Prize-winning <i>Lonesome Dove</i>, three memoirs, two collec
