Texasville -- Larry McMurtry

With Texasville, Larry McMurtry returns to the unforgettable Texas town and entertaining characters from one of his best-loved books, The Last Picture Show. This is a Texas-sized story brimming with home truths of the heart, and men and women we recognize, believe in, and care about deeply. Set in the post-oil-boom 1980s, Texasville brings us up to date with Duane, who's got an adoring dog, a sassy wife, a twelve-million-dollar debt, and a hot tub by the pool; Jacy, who's finished playing "Jungla" in Italian movies and who's returned to Thalia; and Sonny--Duane's teenage rival for Jacy's affections--who owns the car wash, the Kwik-Sackstore, and the video arcade. With his talent for writing lovable, eccentric characters, Texasville is one of Larry McMurtry's funniest and most touching contemporary novels.<br><br><b>Author:</b> Larry McMurtry<br><b>Publisher:</b> Simon & Schuster<br><b>Published:</b> 01/14/1999<br><b>Pages:</b> 544<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.99lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 8.00h x 5.37w x 1.20d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780684857503<br><p><b>About the Author</b><br>Larry McMurtry (1936-2021) was the author of twenty-nine novels, including the Pulitzer Prize-winning <i>Lonesome Dove</i>, three memoirs, two collections of essays, and more than thirty screenplays.
