Don Quixote and Mc Murtry
In one sense, i see him as kind of an american cervantes. And we know that don quixote is a sort of proto novel in order to satirize and create a parody of the mediaeval romance tradition. Mc murtry is doing the same thing with the western. He's particularly cerned with the way in which the western has embodied kind of an unequivocal embrace of manifest destiny. So he sets out in lonesome dove to mount that parody and that critique.
