"Lonnie grows up caught in the middle of his beloved grandfather Homer Bannon, an old-time cattleman dedicated to the values of honesty and decency, and Hud, Homer's unscrupulous stepson." *** "When Larry McMurtry's classic novel of the post-World War II era was originally published in 1961, it created a ssensation in Texas literary circles. Never before had a writer portrayed the contemporary West in conflict in such stark, realistic, unsentimental ways. 'Horseman, Pass By, ' on which the film 'Hud' is based, tells the story of Homer Bannon, an old-time cattleman who epitomizes the frontier values of honesty and decency, and Hud, his unscrupulous stepson. Caught in the middle is the narrator, Homer's young grandson, Lonnie, who is as much drawn to his grandfather's strength of character as he is to Hud's hedonism and materialism."
