In 1993 McMurtry published a sequel, Streets of Laredo, which is set in the 1890s. The novel and its subsequent movie adaptation were huge hits. Lonesome Dove, the novel, is set in the 1870s and was published in 1985. Book blogger Liz Dexter is re-reading some of her favorite McMurtry novels this year which prompted me to look at his oeuvre (as fancy bibliophiles say). I was captivated by McMurtry’s novel, Lonesome Dove, when I first read it in the 80s or 90s. It’s a four-book series, or a tetralogy, as exacting bibliophiles say. One of my goals this year is to read Larry McMurtry’s Lonesome Dove series. ![]()
