Summary

“I always wanted to be a cowboy...”

Journey through the dusty plains of Texas and the rugged mountains of Colorado in author Jim Duke’s debut, Dances with Donkeys: The Memoir Of A Half-Assed Cowboy—the often hilarious, occasionally poignant, sometimes hair-raising, and always entertaining tales of a man who dropped out of high school and took off for Texas to become a cowboy.

In this captivating memoir, Duke recounts his adventures and ass-inine misadventures with mules, donkeys and horses as he introduces listeners to the complexity and variety of personalities among these intelligent creatures. Through prose and poetry, he shows the deep bond that can form between humans and equines.

Whether you're a fan of cowboy culture or just love a good memoir, Dances with Donkeys is reminiscent of cowboy poet laureate Baxter Black with a twist in the saddle. You'll laugh your "ass" off and come away with a whole new understanding of why little boys and girls grow up dreaming of being cowboys. Don't miss out on this one-of-a-kind journey into the heart of the American West.

Dances with Donkeys.

A very good listen that had me glued to my seat! This debut novel by Jim Duke I found to be fascinating listening. The main characters love of horses of all denominations is great and I certainly learned a lot. Highly recommended listening. Harry Roger Williams narration was superb, just right for this kind of book.
I was kindly given a copy of the book by the narrator and leave this honest review.
