The Great Northern Express (2012) - Plot & Excerpts
the West Texas Jesus boasted to me the next morning on our way through the mountains to my event in Missoula. We were following Clark Fork, one of the most beautiful trout streams in the West. My guy was eyeing it, spooling along in the valley a thousand feet below us through a series of deep green pools, white-water rapids, and trouty-looking runs of broken water. “Back in your heyday?” I said. By now I wasn’t sure whether he was talking about playing steel guitar and singing backup (he claimed) for Marty Robbins in a roadhouse in El Paso City, or telling stories from a mountaintop in Galilee. Then, trouble. I’d been expecting it for the past week or so. It had been building day by day, and frankly, I was surprised that it hadn’t come to a flash point sooner. Since Austin, Reg and the West Texas Jesus had been arguing, arguing about everything under the sun. Back in northern California, in a motel near Mount Shasta, they’d argued over whether the Catskills were true mountains or the remains of an eroded plateau.
