The Berrybender Narratives

The Berrybender Narratives

"The Berrybender Narratives" is a series of novels written by Larry McMurtry. It tells the story of an ill-fated hunting expedition lasting several years and covering much of the early American West. As with much of McMurtry's Western fiction, it weaves a tale of bloody adventure with a sort of ghastly dark humor.

The four novels in the series, with publication dates, are:

* "Sin Killer" (2002)
* "The Wandering Hill" (2003)
* "By Sorrow's River" (2003)
* "Folly and Glory" (2004)
