de-mystifying the west...?

Must have missed the sub-text of “Lonesome Dove”.

I think when most people hear “Larry McMurtry” they probably think of Lonesome Dove and not Brokeback Mountain. But hey, we have to queer up literally everything, including the Old West.

He wrote bigger and better works than that.

Only as big as your last hit I guess

My grandma always said to say something good about the dead.

This pervert is dead. Good.

So they give him kudos (in the title) for that move. Not Lonesome Dove.

c’est la vie

I will miss them about as much as they would miss me when I am dead and gone.

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. Pfft.

He wrote better things than Brokeback Mountain to be remembered for.

I’ve always associated him with Westerns, especially Lonesome Dove trilogy
I didn’t know he wrote Brokeback Mountain.......I find that disappointing

Well, I never saw “Brokeback Mountain”, but I think I’ve read all of McMurtry’s novels, and I probably own at least half of them. Great writer, even if his characters in later books seemed to spend all their time bickering.

RIP, Larry.

I had to read “Horseman, Pass By” in college. It was made into the movie Hud. RIP.

FWIW, Annie Proulx wrote “Brokeback Mountain”, which McMurtry adapted for his screenplay.

My mother taught me not to speak ill of the dead, so I will not say what I am thinking.

I liked “The Last Picture Show.” I thought “Brokeback Mountain” was a comedy.

RIP.
