Larry McMurtry & Literary Life Interview - NPR

Larry McMurtry is interviewed for National Public Radio for almost 8 minutes about his installment of his Literary Life.  The interview is available in print and audio.  It begins: "Since the very start, Larry McMurtry's writing career has been staged — almost simultaneously — in two oddly paired worlds: his hometown of Archer, Texas, and Hollywood. He published his first novel, Horseman, Pass By, in 1961. The rights to that book were optioned for the movie that would become Hud, starring Paul Newman, before the book was published. "Almost before the last period [was] put on the book," according to McMurtry." Listen in or read more at: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=121780230
