About the book:
This is a biography of Larry McMurtry, the beloved Texas writer, written by a good friend who did extensive research. It clears away a lot of the myths surrounding McMurtry -- and Texas.
About the author:
David Streitfeld is an award-winning journalist -- first at the Washington Post, then the Los Angeles Times, currently at the New York Times. He's also a lifelong bookstore obsessive. That addiction allowed him to meet Larry McMurtry three decades ago. They bonded over books, became friends and now, after much research and interviewing, David has written McMurtry's biography.
By purchasing a book from BookPeople, you are not only supporting a local, independent business – you’re showing publishers that they should continue sending authors to BookPeople.
Thank you for supporting David Streitfeld and your local independent bookstore!
