Texasville
Texasville is an American novel by Larry McMurtry, first published by Simon & Schuster in 1987. It is a sequel to his 1966 novel The Last Picture Show, and features several of the same characters years later in the same fictional town of Thalia, which is based on McMurtry's hometown of Archer City, Texas. The protagonist, Duane Moore, is the now middle-aged owner of several oil wells, while married to Karla and the father of several children. He is thrown of balance when his high school sweet heart, Jacy, returns to town. The novel was adapted into the 1990 film of the same name.
