It is the fifth and final in a series of novels about Duane Moore from The Last Picture Show. McMurtry wrote the last two novels in the series "are about the coming of age. "[3]

The novel ends with Moore's death. McMurtry later wrote, " I never thought of Duane as me. Except for a handful of passages — the chapters in Duane’s Depressed that describe his depression — the books aren’t autobiographical. He doesn’t know what I know, despite having been forced by his analyst to read Proust."[4]

McMurtry hoped the character of billionaire KK Slater would be played in a film by his friend Diane Keaton.[5]
