Larry McMurtry

Larry McMurtry wrote the first full novel I ever read: “All My Friends Are Going To Be Strangers.” Pretty sure I read the rest of them. Larry had a gift, and he used it.
I consider Larry a gift to me. How fortunate we were to live during the peak of his prolific powers.
Thank you, Larry! I’m gonna’ read them all again!

Lonesome Dove is the finest book ever written by one man.
I am still in awe of your talent.
Just read you died.
Thanks,Larry for your endearing gift from one book hoarder to another.

Hi how are you I am good u I was writing to you to.give my condolences to u and yr family etc. RIP I loved his books movies etc. He seemed like a nice guy I will.miss him so. Take care bye no rush

I’m an old Gal now and everyone who knows me and everyone who has ever met me knows I first off ask “ Have you ever watched the movie “ Lonesome Dove”? I’ve lost count of the people I’ve had thank me for encouraging them to enjoy the gang from Lonesome Dove but especially grateful my Father took the VH version to the Victoria Islands two years before his passing and he thanked me after..a rare acknowledgment. I want to first and foremost thank Larry...followed by Gus, Call, Deets, Pea Eye,...

We have lost a great American treasure. I feel very sad.

WOW- THE MAN WAS A LEGEND- REGRET I NEVER GOT TO ARCHER CITY WAREHOUSE TO MEET HIM. "LONESOME DOVE" WAS THE ONLY MOVIE WHICH EVER LIVED UP TO WHAT I IMAGINED WHEN READING IT. WELL-DONE! COINCIDENTALLY, AM CURRENTLY READING "WALTER BENJAMIN AT THE DAIRY QUEEN" LIKE HIS ENTIRE WORKS, STELLAR! HIS IS A VOICE I SHALL ALWAYS MISS.

An extremely talented writer, May God be with the McMurtry family as you go through your time of loss.

In my opinion, Larry McMurtry was America's best contemporary fiction writer. Hail the King of Western Stories!
