Texasville

Texasville

Author(s): Larry McMurtry

Location(s): Texas

Genre(s): Fiction, Humour

Era(s): 1980s

With Texasville, Larry McMurtry returns to the unforgettable Texas town and characters of 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.

One of Larry McMurtry’s funniest and most touching contemporary novels
