Meet the author
Pulitzer Prize-winning author Larry McMurtry is celebrated as one of the great chroniclers of the American West, earning an Academy Award for his Brokeback Mountain screenplay. Raised in a family of Texas cattle ranchers, he drew from his own upbringing to write his debut novel, Horseman, Pass By. McMurtry’s authentic voice captures the decline of the old cowboy mythos, a world he knew intimately from his youth spent on the open range before the traditions of his ancestors faded into memory.
