So far, this book feels almost autobiographical in a way, like McMurtry coming to terms now that by this point he'd written 4 books previously with 3 of the 4 getting film adaptations by this point. Danny is almost a stand in: A young writer who's first novel is successful enough to receive a film adaption much like McMurtry with Horseman, Pass By becoming 'Hud' in 1963.
