Larry McMurtry
An American author known for his epic Westerns that often deconstruct the myths and realities of the American frontier. His Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, Lonesome Dove, is considered a masterpiece of the genre, exploring themes of adventure, friendship, and the changing landscape of the West. McMurtry's authentic voice and nuanced characters have made him a significant figure in American Western literature.
More than a love story, more than an adventure, Lonesome Dove is an epic: a monumental novel which embraces the spirit of the last defiant wilderness of America. Legend and fact, heroes and outlaws, whores and ladies, Indians and settlers - Lonesome Dove is the central, enduring American experience dramatically recreated in a magnificent story of heroism and love; of honour, loyalty and betrayal.
