Rhino Ranch is a 2009 American novel byLarry McMurtry.[1][2]
It is the fifth and final in a series of novels about Duane Moore fromThe 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 inDuane'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 readProust."[4]
McMurtry hoped the character of billionaire KK Slater would be played in a film by his friendDiane Keaton.[5]
