A photo-filled behind-the-scenes journey into the creation of the book, the miniseries, and the world of
Lonesome Dove.
Widely acclaimed as the greatest Western ever made,
Lonesome Dove has become a true American epic. Larry McMurtry's Pulitzer Prize–winning novel was a
New York Times bestseller, with millions of copies in print, and the miniseries has won seven Emmys.
In this treasury, John Spong talks to forty of the key people involved, including author Larry McMurtry; actors Robert Duvall, Tommy Lee Jones, Anjelica Huston, Diane Lane, Danny Glover, Ricky Schroder, D. B. Sweeney, Frederic Forrest, and Chris Cooper; executive producer and screenwriter Bill Wittliff; executive producer Suzanne de Passe; and director Simon Wincer. They and a host of others tell lively stories about McMurtry's writing of the epic novel and the process of turning it into the miniseries
Lonesome Dove. Accompanying their recollections are photographs of iconic props, costumes, set designs, and shooting scripts. Rounding out the book are continuity Polaroids used during filming and photographs taken on the set by Bill Wittliff, which place you behind the scenes in the middle of the action.
Designed as a companion for
A Book of Photographs from Lonesome Dove, Wittliff's magnificent fine art volume,
A Book on the Making of Lonesome Dove is a must-have for every fan.
