Along the way he meets a cast of indelibly etched characters: among them, the strikingly beautiful, social-climbing Cindy Sanders; Boog Miller, the tackily-dressing millionaire good ol' boy who patronizes Jack's business and who has more political muscle than a litter of lobbyists; Khaki Descartes, the pushy, brain-picking, Washington woman reporter; Freddy Fu, an undercover CIA agent working out of a greasy barbecue joint called The Cover-Up; and Jean Arber, the mother of two and a fledgling antique-store owner who can't quite figure out if she'll marry Jack or not. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWild, touching, and hilariously funny, \u003ci\u003eCadillac Jack\u003c\/i\u003e is Larry McMurtry's raucous social satire of sex, politics, and love in the fast lane, peopled with Americans only he could render.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLarry McMurtry (1936-2021) was the author of twenty-nine novels, including the Pulitzer Prize-winning \u003ci\u003eLonesome Dove\u003c\/i\u003e, three memoirs, two collections of essays, and more than thirty screenplays.
