One of his three Booked Up stores is located in Archer, Texas, only a few blocks away from the movie theater made famous in the Peter Bogdanovich movie based on his book THE LAST PICTURE SHOW.

Audible.com Books by Larry McMurtry WHEN THE LIGHT GOES TELEGRAPH DAYS OH WHAT A SLAUGHTER: Massacres in the American West: 1846-1890 THE COLONEL AND LITTLE MISSIE: Buffalo Bill, Annie Oakley, and the Beginnings of Superstardom in America ... THE LATE CHILD Larry McMurtry ARTICLE "Go West, young man . . . " may have been the 1850 directive of Horace Greeley, but the most vivid storytelling to come out of the resulting westward stampede has been penned by Larry McMurtry, son and grandson of Texas cattlemen. McMurtry's first novels dealt with life in the West but it wasn't until LONESOME DOVE, for which he won the 1986 Pulitzer Prize, that he met with worldwide recognition for being the master storyteller he is. No other author has so thoroughly and delightfully debunked the ill-advised romanticism of the American West. McMurtry's immense talent punctures the cowboy mythology with such finesse that the reader never feels the prick; we just joyfully go along for the ride of a lifetime. Yet for all the brilliance of his sweeping Western sagas, I will always remember Larry McMurtry as the inventor of the irrepressible Aurora Greenway and the daughter with whom she is constantly at odds in TERMS OF ENDEARMENT.

What's more, his promise is the kind that lasts." Leaving Cheyenne "'Leaving Cheyenne' is brightened and warmed by the author's grasp of his setting and by his ear for the music of talk in Archer County." The Last Picture Show "McMurtry is not exactly a virtuoso at the typewriter. . . . [S]ome of the writing could be smoother. But he knows his town and its folkways." Moving On "McMurtry simply doesn't know how to turn off his electric typewriter. Almost as though acknowledging the inability of Patsy, et al., to sustain so long a book, he shores it up with detail." All of My Friends Are Going to Be Strangers "McMurtry has the faults of a strong but careless writer like Mailer, but they are easily forgiven in this particular novel, which seems so thoroughly a type of 'American' classic without any of the painless charm of housebroken literature."

He published his first book, Horseman Pass By , in 1961. As a child in Archer City, with no bookstores and no public library, McMurtry had to be content with reading the same books over and over. In A Narrow Grave: Essays on Texas In 1965, McMurtry became a scout and dealer with a Houston book firm. McMurtry moved to the Washington, D.C., area in 1970 to join the faculty of George Mason College. That same year, he and two partners bought a bookstore in Georgetown and renamed it Booked Up.

By the late 1980s, he had published more than 10 books and received the Pulitzer Prize for Lonesome Dove The books come from a variety of sources, McMurtry says.
