Another sad interruption. I just learned that
Charles Portis passed away. Portis may be the greatest writer
Arkansas ever produced. I've been inching my way through his bibliography. Last winter, I read
Gringos (
see above). And
True Grit is one of
my brother's favorite books. It's sad, but I hope the news of his passing introduces more readers to his work. Now I need to read
Dog of the South ASAP.
