It is sad to see Larry McMurtry has passed on. He was a Stegner Fellow at Stanford 1960-1961 along with my friend, Peter Beagle. My personal favorite of Larry's books is "Leaving Cheyenne", which plays out three intertwined lives in West Texas during the brief interlude we call the "wild West". While "Lonesome Dove"is an epic novel, "Leaving Cheyenne" is an intense record of love and commitment set against the evolving West Texas backdrop. It is among the few novels I have read more than once.
