About this listen

Ruby Leaving Texas begins in the heyday of the 1980s in the Lower East Side of New York City, where graffiti artist Whiteboy meets the perfect woman and marries her.

In Ruby's never-ending quest for calm, the couple moves to her small hometown in rural north Texas and then out into the desert of New Mexico, where Ruby breaks down and runs off with a boyfriend from 20 years before. The story takes place in the mind of Whiteboy as he drives back to Texas in an attempt to find Ruby, and, perhaps, to kill her.

As the story progresses, the listener learns more about the sad and elusive Ruby, and sees the insanity that has slowly taken over the perspective of the protagonist. Ruby Leaving Texas takes you to the moment where the past and future meet - the split second where sanity and insanity collide.
