Review
Nothing less than a masterful odyssey (Los Angeles Daily News)
Amply imagined and crisply, lovingly written. I haven't enjoyed a book more this year . . . a marvellous novel (Newsweek)
If you read only one Western novel in your life, read this one . . . no other has ever approached the accomplishment of Lonesome Dove (USA Today)
Moving . . . thrilling . . . perfectly realized . . . unforgettable (New York Times)
A triumph . . . McMurtry is superb (Chicago Tribune)
Flush with authenticity (Wall Street Journal)
Larry McMurtry tops them all with his long-awaited epic, Lonesome Dove . . . McCrae and Call are seasoned frontiersmen and ferocious Indian fighters . . . Throughout Lonesome Dove, McMurtry examines their bond - an unspoken and hardly understood friendship. In western fiction, a like relationship seldom has been more finely crafted . . . And the women! If there is a contemporary male novelist blessed with keener insight, I'd like to know about it . . . What McMurtry has created is nothing less than a masterful odyssey, and an enduring addition to the lore of Western Americana (Los Angeles Daily News)
Lonesome Dove is Larry McMurtry's loftiest novel, a wondrous work, drowned in love, melancholy, and yet, ultimately, exultant. In Lonesome Dove . . . McMurtry celebrates a world abundant with calamity and a human spirit wistful but prevailing . . . A compelling and memorable epic . . . Masterful (Los Angeles Times Books Review)
