About this Event

Please welcome David Streitfeld to celebrate Western Star: The Life and Legends of Larry McMurtry!

This event is free and open to the public.

  • Start time: 7:00 P.M.
  • Run time: 45-60 minutes, followed by a signing line.
  • Location: The second floor of BookPeople.

The author will be signing and personalizing copies of the book after the speaking portion of the event.

  • To get a book signed, a copy of the event book or an item of equal value must be purchased from BookPeople.
  • For high volume events, post-talk signing lines can become very long. For such events, we recommend arriving and checking in to the event early as that will get you into an earlier signing group.

  • Seating will be on a first-come, first-served basis and is not guaranteed.
  • If you have any other questions, please visit our Eventbrite FAQ. If your question isn't covered in the FAQ, feel free to email us at [email protected].

  • BookPeople reserves the right to cancel or postpone this event if necessary.
  • There will not be a live stream or recording available.

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!
