Famous Shoes is an Indian scout who has always wondered where the birds go when they fly north. One day he decides to follow them and find out. Since this is a McMurtry book, this plan goes somewhat awry, tho' I don't recall that Famous Shoes himself has an unhappy ending. It's been a while since I've read the book--"Lonesome Dove" remains my favorite McMurtry novel.Ysabeau Wilcehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01684128551495819812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8771986852817302610.post-16963865365904509092007-02-08T12:42:00.000-06:002007-02-08T12:42:00.000-06:00Madama Wilce:Hey, you like sad endings and want to...Madama Wilce:<BR/><BR/>Hey, you like sad endings and want to know why guys follow wild geese? Sounds like you should read the novel "Flight of the Goose" by Lesley Thomas. It's one of the first books I felt compelled to review on-line (I absolute hate doing those because I'm so bad at coming up with erudite praise; I can never really explain why I love something.) Anyway, the writer is actually a distant cousin of mine and I'm SOOOOOO jealous of her talent.Erika Hamerquisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09721599229029331587noreply@blogger.com
