Duane's Depressed is a 1999 American novel by Larry McMurtry.[1] McMurtry said it was one of his favorite works.[2]

It is the third in a series of novels about Duane Moore from The Last Picture Show. 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."[3]
