Summary

Summary

A New York Times bestseller

Legendary author Larry McMurtry-who has both a Pulitzer Prize and an Academy Award to his credit-concludes the story of Duane Moore, who first appeared in the 1966 classic The Last Picture Show. Fast approaching 70, Duane is adjusting to the loneliness of retirement. Then things get stirred up when a billionaire heiress moves to the area and opens a rhinoceros sanctuary. ". a top-shelf blend of wit and insight, sharply defined characters and to-the-point prose."-Publishers Weekly, starred review

Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“A droll and poignant dramedy, Rhino Ranch is a near-perfect coda to the minor masterwork of Texas’ greatest novelist.” Texas Monthly
“[Duane] and his friends in the fictional Texas town of Thalia made me laugh and nearly made me cry, and they made me think about life.”  Fort Worth Star-Telegram
“Mixed in with the humor and snappy dialogue are tender and poignant scenes as the women in Duane’s life die or drift away, and Duane befriends a rhino and realizes that his life has lost its purpose. Nobody depicts the complexities of smalltown Texas life and the frailties of human relationships better than McMurtry.”  Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“A lovely, high-lonesome end to Duane’s saga that also offers the possibility of more books to come.”  Kirkus Reviews
