I fell in love with your writing in 1966. You are one of the few authors I have devoted an entire shelf in my personal library. I struggled through the last chapter of Terms of Endearment having to stop every paragraph or two ugly crying, upon finishing it I realized how masterful you truly are. RIP
My son, who moved to The U.S recently, is writing in English, his second language, I've given him Nabokov, Fitzgerald, Hemingway et.al., but I think the most valuable novel has been Zeke and Ned, by McMurtry and Ossana, a roiling rock and roll novel of Americana that is humble, comic, and ultimately a better intro to what a novel should be, chock full of life, wisdom and a portrait of a moment, of a people, of a place. Recommended!
I sell books and native wildflower seeds, while writing "on the side." We make obscure books relevant to our subject matter available as long as possible, sometimes buying them from the author's descendants or old friends. As long as they are there, we'll keep selling them. There are always a few left.

Having read some of his work (not all...YET!), I understand why you devoted an entire shelf to him.

Thanks for making Joe Bell, Larry. 💐

A recent interview with Larry McMurtry in The New York Times: www.nytimes.com/2014/07/13/books/review/larry-mcmurtry-by-the-book.html?_r=1
+Antiquarian Booksellers' Association of America Thank you for sharing this! I just visited Booked Up in Archer City! :)
Didn't Saul Bellow win a Nobel Prize in Literature? He's minor?
How many people do you think you've met that have actually read one of his books? He's just referring to the changing culture, not the writer.
love his work but his speech delivery painful to listen to
As intelligent as his words are, he seems too sick to even be interviewed. I would be interested in the story of his health.
Brian Brinkman he’s been like that for decades. He just always gives off the impression of being on the brink of death.
And still alive. By God Woodrow
He will live on 7 more years.
Great writer, boring talker!
