A biography of the late Pulitzer Prize-winning American novelist and screenwriter Larry McMurtry from New York Times bestselling author Tracy Daugherty. Finalist for the 2024 Pulitzer Prize for Biography.
In more than forty books, during a career that spanned more than sixty years, Larry McMurtty staked his claim as a superior chronicler of the American West, and as the Great Plains' keenest witness since Willa Cather and Wallace Stegner.
Tracy Daugherty's Larry McMurtry: A Life traces his origins as one of the last American writers who had direct contact with this country's pioneer traditions. It follows his astonishing career as a bestselling writer, a Pulitzer Prize-wining novelist, and an Academy Award-winning screenwriter. Many of McMurtry's books and the movies made from them were groundbreaking and genre-busting. His beloved Western epic Lonesome Dove has been recognized as an American classic, while the film version of his novel The Last Picture Show is regularly listed as among the finest American movies ever made. In addition to his writing career, McMurtry was a public intellectual and a passionate and beloved bookseller.
A sweeping and insightful look at a versatile, one-of-a-kind American writer, this first-ever biography is a must-read for all Larry McMurtry fans.
