Dead Man's Walk by Larry McMurtry

4.0

---

McMurtry knows how to tell a tale. Even to this skeptical listener. While the indigenous folks are in conflict with the Texas Rangers, they are respected. While there is many a mention of “whores” (I do a voiceover in my head that says- “sex workers”), the indelible image of a large “sex worker” holding a turtle in a river is just great writing. Spellbinding.
