In this "comically subversive work of fiction" (Joyce Carol Oates,
New York Review of Books), Larry McMurtry chronicles the closing of
the American frontier through the travails of two of its most
immortal figures, Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday. Tracing their
legendary friendship from the settlement of Long Grass, Texas, to
Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show in Denver, and finally to Tombstone,
Arizona, The Last Kind Words Saloon finds Wyatt and Doc living out
the last days of a cowboy lifestyle that is already passing into
history. In his stark and peerless prose McMurtry writes of the
myths and men that live on even as the storied West that forged
them disappears. Hailed by critics and embraced by readers, The
Last Kind Words Saloon celebrates the genius of one of our most
original American writers.
