Rhino Ranch is a 2009 American novel by Larry McMurtry. [1] [2]
It is the fifth and final in a series of novels about Duane Moore from The Last Picture Show . McMurtry wrote the last two novels in the series "are about the coming of age. " [3]
The novel ends with Moore's death. McMurtry later wrote, " I never thought of Duane as me. Except for a handful of passages — the chapters in Duane’s Depressed that describe his depression — the books aren’t autobiographical. He doesn’t know what I know, despite having been forced by his analyst to read Proust." [4]
McMurtry hoped the character of billionaire KK Slater would be played in a film by his friend Diane Keaton. [5]
