Larry Jeff McMurtry (born June 3, 1936) is an American novelist, essayist, bookseller, and Academy Award winning screenwriter whose work is predominantly set in either the "old west" or in contemporary Texas. He is known for his Pulitzer Prize-winning 1985 novel Lonesome Dove, a historical saga that follows ex-Texas Rangers as they drive their cattle from the Rio Grande to a new home in the frontier of Montana, and for co-writing the adapted screenplay for Brokeback Mountain. Lonesome Dove was adapted into a hit television miniseries. McMurtry was born in Archer City, Texas, the son of Hazel Ruth (n�e McIver) and William Jefferson McMurtry, who was a rancher.[1] He grew up on a ranch outside Archer City, Texas, which is the model for the town of Thalia that appears in much of his fiction. He earned degrees from North Texas State University (B.A. 1958) and Rice University (M.A. 1960). His son, James McMurtry, is a singer/songwriter and guitarist.
