All My Friends Are Going To Be Strangers.

All My Friends Are Going to Be Strangers is a 1972 novel by Larry McMurtry. The work, his fifth novel, follows the travails and romantic entanglements of a young writer, Danny Deck. The events of the novel primarily take place in Houston and San Francisco. McMurtry later wrote it was not until the book was published "that I became convinced that I was a writer and would remain one." He wrote it in five weeks after finishing his fourth novel, Moving On. In 2009 stated, "The book was then and probably still remains the best entry point to my fiction, mainly because I was too tired to feel in the least self-conscious. I just spewed it out, and never, until now, looked back. All My Friends still reads well."
