    Pastures of the Empty Page: Fellow Writers on the Life and Legacy of Larry McMurtry

    A collection of essays that offers an intimate view of Larry McMurtry, America’s preeminent western novelist, through the eyes of a pantheon of writers he helped shape through his work over the course of his unparalleled literary life.

    When he died in 2021, Larry McMurtry was one of America’s most revered writers. The author of treasured novels such as "Lonesome Dove" and "The Last Picture Show", and coauthor of the screenplays for "Brokeback Mountain" and "Streets of Laredo", McMurtry created unforgettable characters and landscapes largely drawn from his life growing up on the family’s hardscrabble ranch outside his hometown of Archer City, Texas. "Pastures of the Empty Page" brings together fellow writers to honor the man and his impact on American letters.
