Description: McMurtry's Copy, SignedThe Late Child [McMurtry's Own Copy] Author: McMurtry, Larry Title: The Late Child [McMurtry's Own Copy] Publication: New York: Simon & Schuster, 1995. First Edition Edition: First Edition Description: Hardcover. A signed first edition of this sequel to The Desert Rose, from McMurtry's library in Archer City, Texas, and his bookplate mounted to the inside front cover. Most of McMurtry's own copies of books were not signed-why would an author sign his own book? Probably for the usual reason-he signed it for someone and then for some reason didn't give it away. In your humble cataloguer's experience with author's libraries, this is not a common experience, but most writers have one or two such books on their shelves.McMurtry was a leading bookseller, a Pulitzer Prize winning novelist (for Lonesome Dove), and an Academy Award winning screenwriter (for Brokeback Mountain). Apropos of nothing, for a funny looking guy, he dated a lot of movie stars (Cybill Shepherd and Diane Keaton, among others). Hardly anyone succeeds at antiquarian bookselling, novel writing, the film business, or dating stars. Somehow McMurtry did all four-enough living for several lifetimes.461 pages. Fine / Fine. First edition (first printing). A fine copy in a fine dust jacket. Signed by McMurtry on the title page. The author's own copy, from his house in Archer City, with his stirrup bookplate on the front pastedown.
