    Texas literary giant and Pulitzer Prize winner Larry McMurtry dies at 84

    Larry McMurtry, the Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist known for bringing the Lone Star State and the West to millions around the globe through his pages, died on Friday, March 26. He was 84.

    The novelist and screenwriter penned more than 50 novels and screenplays, including Hud, The Last Picture Show, Terms of Endearment, and Lonesome Dove. He won the 1985 Pulitzer Prize for Lonesome Dove, which centers on two wily, retired Texas Rangers, later played by Robert Duvall and Tommy Lee Jones in a wildly popular 1989 television miniseries.

    McMurtry and cowriter Diana Ossana adapted the screenplay for Annie Proulx’s short story Brokeback Mountain, which would go on to garner eight Academy Award nominations with three wins, including McMurtry and Ossana for Best Adapted Screenplay.

    He was a furious writer: McMurtry churned outThe Last Picture Show, about life in a small Texas town in the 1950s, “in about three weeks.” He wrote All My Friends are Going to be Strangers in five weeks, and The Desert Rose in a dizzying 22 days.

    His early Texas days crafted his later works. He was born in Archer City, Texas in 1936 to a ranching family, who, ironically, owned no books. “Simply put, it’s not a nice town,” McMurtry wrote of Archer City, where he spent part of his time, adding that locals were “indifferent” to his massive bookshop operation there.

    McMurtry attended the University of North Texas and later, Rice University. While in Houston, he managed a bookstore called the Bookman.

    He also lived in Fort Worth and Austin.

    He married Josephine Ballard in 1959; the couple had a son, singer-songwriter James McMurtry. In 2011, the divorced McMurtry married Faye Kesey, the widow of longtime friend Ken Kesey. The marriage ceremony was held in the Archer City bookstore.

    Prickly, enigmatic, and positively Texan, McMurtry perpetually downplayed his iconic status. “Little of my work in fiction is pedestrian,” he once noted, “but, on the other hand, none of it is really great.”

    In what has become an annual summer tradition, concert promoter Live Nation is offering a discount ticket program for summer concert season for 2025, with $30 tickets for a variety of shows at venues across Texas.

    Live Nation’s $30 Ticket to Summer is selling tickets for $30 to more than 1,000 shows at select amphitheaters across the U.S. and Canada throughout the season, including Dos Equis Pavilion in Dallas, The Pavilion at Toyota Music Factory in Irving, The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion at The Woodlands in Houston, Germania Insurance Amphitheater, Moody Amphitheater at Waterloo Park, and Stubb's Waller Creek Amphitheater in Austin.

    The initial on-sale begins May 21, and spans a wide range of genres — including pop, Latin, hip-hop, country, R&B, rock, metal, electronic, comedy, and more.

    Tickets purchased through this offer include all fees upfront in the $30 cost. Any taxes will be added at checkout as applicable to each city, state, and venue. Tickets are available for select Live Nation shows, while inventory lasts.

    How $30 Ticket to Summer works

    How to find participating shows
