Texasville
Texasville: A Novel | Larry McMurtry
5 posts | 7 read | 2 to read
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.

My son and I had such a great time at the Texas Book Festival. We saw Rebecca Makkai, Neal Schusterman, and David Bowles, bought a few books and had them signed. Wish I could go back tomorrow, but I head to Dallas for work. I‘ll get in some good #audio driving!

Ruthiella Looks like fun! Is your son wearing a Reading Rainbow shirt? 😃 13mo

This year‘s Texas Book Festival poster has been released, and I love it!

The artist passed away this year, his name was Bob “Daddy-O” Wade. He‘s best known for giant sculptures throughout the country.

This year‘s Fest will be virtual, making it easier for non-Texans to join the fun! It‘ll be Oct 31- Nov 15.
