His first three novels— \u003ci\u003eHorseman\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003ePass By\u003c\/i\u003e (1961),* \u003ci\u003eLeaving Cheyenne\u003c\/i\u003e (1963), and \u003ci\u003eThe Last Picture Show\u003c\/i\u003e (1966)— all set in the north Texas town of Thalia after World War II, are collected here for the first time. In this trilogy, McMurtry writes tragically of men and women trying to carve out an existence on the plains, where the forces of modernity challenge small- town American life. From a cattleranch rivalry that confirms McMurtry’s “full- blooded Western genius” (\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e) to a love triangle involving a cowboy, his rancher boss and wife, and finally to the hardscrabble citizens of an oil- patch town trying to keep their only movie house alive, McMurtry captures the stark realities of the West like no one else. With a new introduction, \u003ci\u003eThalia\u003c\/i\u003e emerges as an American classic that celebrates one of our greatest literary masters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e*Just named in 2017 by \u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e the #1 Western novel worthy of rediscovery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLarry McMurtry\u003c\/b\u003e was an award-winning novelist, essayist, and avid bookseller and collector, who received an Academy Award with cowriter Diana Ossana for the screenplay of \u003ci\u003eBrokeback Mountain\u003c\/i\u003e and wrote the Pulitzer Prize-winning \u003ci\u003eLonesome Dove\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                    \n                \n            \u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Best Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":46556230418593,"sku":"BBSNIJ9781631493751","price":48.59,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0525\/2084\/5473\/files\/9781631493751.jpg?v=1781809659","url":"https:\/\/www.bestbookstore.ca\/products\/thalia-hardcover-by-larry-mcmurtry","provider":"Best Book Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
