Rodeo

Louise Serpa has spent the past thirty years photographing professional rodeos from inside the ring. In Rodeo she takes us into the world of one of the first truly American sports. Accompanying these extraordinary images are Serpa’s anecdotal and informative annotations; to counterbalance are Larry McMurtry’s provocative “notes” challenging widely held beliefs about the mythic American West. McMurtry is the author of the best selling novels, Lonesome Dove, The Last Picture Show, and Terms of Endearment , among others.
