Urban Cowboy

Book • 1980
Urban Cowboy is a 1980 paperback novel by Aaron Latham, adapted from the hit film starring John Travolta and Debra Winger.

It captures the story of a young Texas oil worker navigating love, mechanical bull riding, and the clash of rural and urban cowboy cultures in Houston's Gilley's nightclub.

The book draws from Latham's Esquire article that inspired the movie, blending romance, drama, and country music culture.
