Description
In this thoughtful collection of essays, Larry McMurtry explores Texas and the American West as landscapes shaped by memory, myth, labor, and rapid change. Moving between ranch life, small towns, literature, film, and the enduring legend of the cowboy, he examines the tension between rural traditions and the expanding influence of cities and suburbs. With a keen eye for character and place—and a style that is by turns wry, lyrical, and sharply observant—McMurtry offers an elegiac yet unsentimental portrait of a region in transition.
