The Last Kind Words Saloon

Cowboys' last stand in fading American West.

If you're fond of Westerns or character studies, "The Last Kind Words Saloon" might just pique your interest. Larry McMurtry uses his signature sharp prose to breathe new life into the figures of Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday, giving you a front-row seat to their exploits and the twilight of the Wild West era. This mix of fact, legend, and McMurtry's wit could be the literary escape to a rugged past that you've been looking for.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

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.
