SUMMARY:ALLen Reads presents Finn Murphy
DESCRIPTION:Known by his trucker handle “U-Turn\,” Finn Murphy has moved ho
 usehold goods across the country for 30 years.  This affords him a unique
  window into the souls of his clients.  \nSome customers yell “Be careful!
 ” repeatedly\, as if their harsh admonitions are going to alter his course
  of action.  Other clients leave the house and do not return until he has
  all their items on the truck.  Some customers offer lunch while others do
  not provide a meal even though the nearest drive-through is fifteen miles
  away. \nMurphy is also the author of  THE LONG HAUL: A Trucker’s Tale of
  Life on the Road.   A review in The New York Times described his book as
  “almost shamefully enjoyable.” Murphy will speak at the Allen Public Libr
 ary 7:30 p.m. Thursday\, Oct.13\, which will also be web-cast live on alle
 ntx.swagit.com .  \nDuring the day\, Finn is loading furniture onto a truc
 k\, but in the evening\, he might be reading Jane Austen’s Mansfield Park
  or Cormac McCarthy’s Outer Dark in a dilapidated motel room.   With his d
 iverse interests and experiences\, Finn offers a nuanced assessment of the
  American experience in his thought-provoking book.  \n“I’ve driven my rig
  all around Texas over and over and seen the signs for Allen many times\,”
  Murphy points out. “I’m really looking forward to actually stopping in Al
 len for a few days rather than passing through on my way to somewhere else
 . See you in October.” \nSponsored by ALLen Reads\, this program is free.
   The library is located at 300 N. Allen Dr.  Call 214-509-4911 for additi
