A propos de l'auteur
Larry McMurtry, winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, among other awards, is the author of twenty-four novels, two collections of essays, two memoirs, more than thirty screenplays, & an anthology of modern Western fiction. He lives in Archer City, Texas. (Publisher Provided) Novelist Larry afficher plus McMurtry was born June 3, 1936 in Wichita Falls, Texas. He received a B.A. from North Texas State University in 1958, an M.A. from Rice University in 1960, and attended Stanford University. He married Josephine Ballard in 1959, divorced in 1966, and had one son, folksinger James McMurtry. Until the age of 22, McMurtry worked on his father's cattle ranch. When he was 25, he published his first novel, "Horseman, Pass By" (1961), which was turned into the Academy Award-winning movie Hud in 1962. "The Last Picture Show" (1966) was made into a screenplay with Peter Bogdanovich, and the 1971 movie was nominated for eight Oscars, including one for best screenplay adaptation. "Terms of Endearment" (1975) received little attention until the movie version won five Oscars, including Best Picture, in 1983. McMurtry's novel "Lonesome Dove" (1985) won the Pulitzer Prize in 1986 and the Spur Award and was followed by two popular TV miniseries. The other titles in the Lonesome Dove Series are "Streets of Laredo" (1993), "Dead Man's Walk" (1995), and "Comanche Moon" (1997). The other books in his Last Picture Show Trilogy are "Texasville" (1987) and "Duane's Depressed" (1999). McMurtry suffered a heart attack in 1991 and had quadruple-bypass surgery. Following that, he suffered from severe depression and it was during this time he wrote "Streets of Laredo," a dark sequel to "Lonesome Dove." His companion Diana Ossana, helping to pull him out of his depression, collaborated with him on "Pretty Boy Floyd" (1994) and "Zeke and Ned" (1997). He co-won the Best Screenplay Golden Globe and the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay for Brokeback Mountain in 2006. He made The New York Times Best Seller List with his title's Custer and The Last Kind Words Saloon. McMurtry is considered one of the country's leading antiquarian book dealers.

> ET TOUS MES AMIS SERONT DES INCONNUS, de Larry McMurtry, Gallmeister, 330 p., 32,95$. — Et tous mes amis seront des inconnus est l’histoire du primo - romancier Danny Deck en perpétuelle quête de confort. Tant en amour que dans la vie, Deck ne se sent jamais vraiment à sa place. Campé dans son Texas natal au tournant des années 70, il décide de tourner la page sur les premières années de sa vie et de répondre aux appels de la côte ouest, où commencera un réel parcours initiatique dans une Amérique elle-même en quête d’identité. La force de McMurtry réside principalement dans le ton qui réussit à ne jamais tomber dans des lieux communs lorsqu’il relate la période hippie. Grâce au talent de l’auteur, on s’amourache d’un personnage qui est toujours à côté de ses pompes, un personnage qui ne demande rien et à qui tout arrive. —Jérémy Laniel Carcajou (Rosemère)
