Paradise is a 2001 book by Larry McMurtry, a travel book and memoir about a trip McMurtry took to the South Seas in 1999. This make it rare in McMutry's career, as he usually focused on Texas. It was McMurtry's third memoir. [1]

Reception

The Austin Chronicle wrote "this book is less interesting as a travel book than as another entry into the McMurtry memory project brought on after the unease produced by his heart bypass surgery in the early 1990s." [2]

The New York Times called it "light book, at once sardonic, wise and insightful." [1]

Kirkus wrote "this is likely to disappoint loyal McMurtry fans." [3]
