Cadillac Jack
Larry McMurtry
Westerns
Cadillac Jack invites readers into the passenger seat of a pearl-colored Caddy with peach velour–covered seats, joining a rodeo-bulldogger-turned-antique- scout at the wheel. This rollicking tale echoes the cultural climate of America today, with the cagey yet charming Jack grappling with the capitol’s pretentious elite. As he cruises through relationships with distinctively appealing women―including socialite boutique owner Cindy and discreet mother-of-two Jean―Jack realizes home for him will always be simply barreling down freeways in his Cadillac, wandering the country in search of another obscure treasure.
