In addition to his 29 books, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Larry McMurtry is credited on dozens of screenplays—including the Academy Award-winning Brokeback Mountain.

Horseman, Pass By is a post-World War II classic first published in 1961 and later made into a feature film (Hud, starring Paul Newman). Cattleman Homer Bannon is a walking advertisement for traditional, old-frontier morals—in contrast to his stepson, Hud. Homer’s grandson Lonnie is torn between emotions for his father and grandfather as he struggles to define his own identity.

The rigger of HUD.

The rigger or control of a young man between his grandfather and uncle. Basically good vs evil in a small Texas town located in the plains of the panhandle.

Great book. Gawdawful performance

This is a wonderful and rich story. Captivating with wonderful characterizations. The problem is that the performance is wooden flat and in some places clumsy. Use of accents is weird in places. But it’s still a good listen if you get past the reader.

A Good Story and A Vey Good Audiobook Narration

"Horseman Pass By" is a pretty good, early novel by Larry McMurtry. It is set in rural Texas in 1954 and was authored in 1961. It is about life on a cattle ranch owned by an older gentleman. I liked the story. It has a flow to it and is not a high octane action story or thriller. I liked it a good deal.

I felt the story made a good audiobook as it is a fairly easy read. I felt he narration by Keri McCue was particularly good. Thee is some interesting narrative about scenery. I had to read this part on Kindle and re listen to this portion to gain a full appreciation for the scenery.

This is the first novel by Larry McMurtry that I have read. I liked it a good deal and definitely intend to read more of his novels in the future. As stated this is an early novel and a great place to start. Thank You...

Another great.McMurtry story

Loved this tale of he lifr of a rancher and his family. Now we have to watch "Hud" again to see this book.

Never a happy ending, BUT...

Larry McMurtry can paint a scene as well as anyone. And Horseman, Pass By is no exception.
This debut novel certainly heralded a career that marks him as a giant of American letters. I don't always like his characters and sometimes don't even care for the story, but few can deny his genius for capturing the spirit of a time, place and people.
