All that being said, McMurtry writes great characters, full stop. I find they are never easily describable without using his words. They aren't bursting with superlatives. You just get the gist of what they are going through very quickly. They become a familiar acquaintance.

for this week’s My Time Back i wrote about Larry McMurty’s Loop Group and the difference between running and hiding. didn’t really wanna screenshot my favorite parts, hoping y’all read this one mytimeback.beehiiv.com/p/loop-group...
