Lost in literature

Here’s A LA Times Story that takes a look at Novelist Larry McMurtry.

He’s the author of The Last Picture Show, Terms of Endearment, and Lonesome Dove. At 66, he churned out four novels during the past year. But some time ago he lost interest in reading fiction, preferring to spend his evenings with European history and British diaries. He doesn’t travel much anymore, either. He stays put in windblown Archer City, where he taps out books on a manual typewriter, tends a sprawling secondhand-book store, breakfasts at the local Dairy Queen, hosts out-of-town friends on the weekends, complains about the dearth of decent restaurants and, as one of those friends puts it, “lives in his own head.”
