"The central themes if Larry McMurtry's work are the Heartland, with its dusty plains, its obsolete cowboys, it's small towns and its new cities rising like mirages from the surrounding wasteland, and that country of the heart in which his people are lost, restlessly in search of love, sensuality, human warmth, contact with someone else in a barren world where relationships are forever transient."
