About this product

Product Information

In this "comically subversive work of fiction" (Joyce Carol Oates, New York Review of Books ), Larry McMurtry chronicles the closing of the American frontier through the travails of two of its most immortal figures, Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday. Tracing their legendary friendship from the settlement of Long Grass, Texas, to Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show in Denver, and finally to Tombstone, Arizona, The Last Kind Words Saloon finds Wyatt and Doc living out the last days of a cowboy lifestyle that is already passing into history. In his stark and peerless prose McMurtry writes of the myths and men that live on even as the storied West that forged them disappears. Hailed by critics and embraced by readers, The Last Kind Words Saloon celebrates the genius of one of our most original American writers.

Reviews
In this 'ballad in prose,' as McMurtry describes his latest book, he paints the familiar historical characters in unfamiliar ways... lovely., As always, McMurtry's characters are plain-spoken but subtle and full of dry humor. . . . Moseying along with McMurtry is always worthwhile., [The Last Kind Words Saloon] is never dull, and it's also very funny. As always, McMurtry's characters are plain-spoken but subtle and full of dry humor...Moseying along with McMurtry is always worthwhile., A deftly narrated, often comically subversive work of fiction... If Lonesome Dove is a chronicle of the cattle-driving West that contains within its vast, broad ranges a small but heartrending intimate tragedy of paternal neglect, The Last Kind Words Saloon is a dark postmodernist modernist comedy., Such a comfortable Western that Sam Elliott might as well be narrating it directly into your ear. McMurtry intersperses comedy and romance...And once again, he's written some smart, tough women and a bunch of men who have no idea what to make of them., A beautiful, dreamy, deeply melancholy book, connecting legend and disparate threads of history in a seamless pastiche of tall tales drawn against the context of their real circumstances., Larry McMurtry possesses one of the most engaging, tempting-to-imitate voices in contemporary American fiction, a voice so smooth and mellow you can almost hear the ice clink against the glass as he talks., Those who enjoy McMurtry's rueful humor and understated tone of elegiac melancholy will devour the book in one setting., By turns droll, stark, wry, or raunchy, this peripatetic novel...will satisfy many readers who long for more from literary icon McMurtry.
