New York Times Bestseller
Named one of the Best Books of the Year by the Seattle Times
The Last Kind Words Saloon marks the triumphant return of Larry Mc Murtry to the nineteenth-century West of his classic Lonesome Dove.
In this ‘comically subversive work of fiction’ (Joyce Carol Oates, New York Review of Books), Larry Mc Murtry 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 Mc Murtry 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.
