In a Narrow Grave: Essays on Texas

English

By (author): Larry McMurtry

Before embarking on what would become one of the most prominent writing careers in American literature, spanning decades and indelibly shaping the nations perception of the West, Larry McMurtry knew what it meant to come from Texas. Originally published in 1968, In a Narrow Grave is the Pulitzer Prizewinning authors homage to the past and present of the Lone Star State, where he grew up a precociously observant hand on his fathers ranch. From literature to rodeos, small-town folk to big city intellectuals, McMurtry explores all the singular elements that define his land and community, revealing the surprising and particular challenges in the dying . . . rural, pastoral way of life. The gold standard for understanding Houstons brash rootlessness and civic insecurities (Douglas Brinkley, New York Times Book Review), In a Narrow Grave offers a timeless portrait of the vividly human, complex, full-blooded Texan.
