A cowboy, an heiress, her brother’s husband … and a badass 72 Mercury Montego.
This is the story of a her loving a him – who’s in love with another him – and that other him enduring an unrequited love for the original her. With a small-town Texas appreciation, this book is replete with humor, adversity, and the tenacity of survivors unwilling and unable to acknowledge defeat.
Here We Go Loop De Loop by William Jack Sibley has greed, lust, sexuality, spiritual enlightenment, more lust, xenophobia, and the meaning of a life worth living, all woven into a single, outrageous knot in the insulated town of Rita Blanca, Texas. The author, a fifth-generation Texan and a resolute seeker of wisdom, truth, and the occasional virtuosic lie, with humor and reflection, has wrought a story of humanity through characters doing the best they can – just not terribly well.
Advance Praise:
“A wonderful example of generous escapism and a book to be recommended.”— Kirkus Reviews
“Larry McMurtry meets A Midsummer Night’s Dream. This is Sibley’s best yet — a rollicking screwball comedy with a heart as big as Texas.” — Steven L. Davis, Author, Past President, Texas Institute of Letters
“Put me in a car with Bill Sibley on a road trip across the nation and everything will be just fine. His spectacular voice, his aptitude for creating instantly indelible characters in richly funny scenes, his perfect pacing and splendid particularity are dazzling and hypnotic. Storyteller supreme!” —Naomi Shihab Nye, Young People’s Poet Laureate, Poetry Foundation
“A satirical small-town Texas comedy with welcome, surprising heart. Sibley’s boisterous comic novel blends small-town satire and humanist warmth as it unspools its tales of isolated people learning to love. His prose is sharp and evocative. At its best, HERE WE GO … finds these snared coyotes daring to find new ways to love.” — BOOKLIFE Review
“No doubt a different kind of love story with hilarious characters. This is such an entertaining and beautifully written book. The author’s vivid description of what a ranch is and how it works, using the actions and dialogues of the characters, is a big plus to the book. I was enthralled at the effortless and consistent expression of the Texas lingo through the conversations. The biggest positive of this book is the rich dialogue.” – ONLINEBOOKCLUB.ORG
“Happy small towns are all alike; a great place to spend a lifetime but not a weekend. There is right and there is wrong and a million in-betweens. There is white and there is black and dozens of better beautiful shades. There is man and there is woman and God knows what else. Let love figure it out. Well done! Colorful characters, colorful dialogue, good suspense, good ending.” – Robert Flynn, Author, Professor Emeritus, Trinity University
