<b>Funny, sad, full of wonderful characters and the word-perfect dialogue of which he is the master, McMurtry brings the Thalia saga to an end with Duane confronting depression in the midst of plenty.</b> <p/>Surrounded by his children, who all seem to be going through life crises involving sex, drugs, and violence; his wife, Karla, who is wrestling with her own demons; and friends like Sonny, who seem to be dying, Duane can't seem to make sense of his life anymore. He gradually makes his way through a protracted end-of-life crisis of which he is finally cured by reading Proust's <i>Remembrance of Things Past</i>, a combination of penance, and prescription from Dr. Carmichael that somehow works. <p/><i>Duane's Depressed</i> is the work of a powerful, mature artist, with a deep understanding of the human condition, a profound ability to write about small-town life, and perhaps the surest touch of any American novelist for the tangled feelings that bind and separate men and women.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Larry McMurtry<br><b>Publisher:</b> Scribner Books Co<br><b>Published:</b> 04/07/2003<br><b>Pages:</b> 432<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.79lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 8.05h x 5.22w x 0.97d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780743230155<br><br><b>Accelerated Reader:</b><br><b>Reading Level:</b> 6.5<br><b>Point Value:</b> 22<br><b>Interest Level:</b> Upper Grade<br><b>Quiz #/Name: </b>32277 / Duane's Depressed<br><br><p><b>About the Author</b><br>Larry McMurtry (1936-2021) was the
