Coach Popper whips his boys with towels and once took a shot at one when he disturbed his hunting. Billy wouldn't know better than to sweep his broom all the way to the town limits if no one stopped him. And teenage friends Sonny and Duane have nothing better to do than drift towards the adult world, with its temptations of sex and confusions of love.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe basis for a classic film, The Last Picture Show is both extremely funny and deeply profound. And, with the eccentrically peopled Thalia, Texas, Larry McMurtry made a small town that feels as real as any you've ever walked around.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"McMurtry, Larry","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50666622779576,"sku":"9780141194448","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0509\/1953\/8872\/files\/9780141194448.jpg?v=1734751507","url":"https:\/\/octoberbooks.org\/products\/9780141194448","provider":"October Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
