Hollywood: A Third Memoir is a 2010 book by Larry McMurtry. It focuses on his experiences working in Hollywood as a screenwriter, producer and a novelist whose work was adapted to film. [1] [2]

Reception

The Boston Globe wrote: "These latest reminiscences consist, in effect, of the pocket change that fell between the cushions of his previous writings on his favorite subject." [3]

The Los Angeles Times called it "less a fully realized third volume of memoirs than it is a series of terrific vignettes." [4]
