In his most moving and richly comic contemporary novel since Texasville, Larry McMurtry returns to the modern West he created so masterfully in The Last Picture Show and Terms of Endearment. SOME CAN WHISTLE spins a tale of Hollywood glitz and texas grit; of an extraordinary young woman and a murderous young man; and a middle-aged millionaire running head-on into the longings, joys and pathos of real life.
