McMurtry, Larry 1936–

McMurtry is an American novelist and essayist. His fiction is imbued with images of death and emotional emptiness: the bleakness of modern life in the West is compared to the barren, dry plains of McMurtry's native Texas. His novel The Last Picture Show was made into a highly successful film. (See also CLC, Vols. 2, 3, 7, and Contemporary Authors, Vols. 5-8, rev. ed.)
