Here We Go Loop De Loop
by William Jack Sibley
GENRE: Romantic Comedy
PUBLICATION DATE: 09/01/2022
DESCRIPTION:
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, has wrought a story of humanity through characters doing the best they can - just not terribly well.

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, PRESIDENT, TEXAS INSTITUTE OF LETTERS
-“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.”

- “Wonderful example of generous escapism and a book to be recommended.”— KIRKUS REVIEWS
-“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. " -- BOOKLIFE REVIEW
