About This Item
Austin: Eakin Press, 1987. First edition. Hardcover. A very good copy in a very good dust jacket. Texas writers have seldom managed to broaden the significance of their work beyond local experience. Yet, imbedded in the myth is a wealth of resources which McMurtry has utilized. His fusion of setting and characters has created powerful, touching narratives about people trying to cope in compelling but usually unpredictable and changing environments. The author sees McMurtry as one of the leading critics of Texas society and fiction. At a time when some writers are shoring up land values with more mythology, McMurtry, she concludes, has his own way of acknowledging the conflict. 81 pages with index.
