The conversations and actions in* Norwood* are as seriously, revealing
funny as our best, as Roth's Zuckerman.
Read him with  Roth's 60s essay on the surreal crazy America THEN in your
consciousness.
The way so many 'think' and talk and act.....Lebowski stuff, no coincidence
the Koens remade True Grit, anchored with that young woman's fierce vision.
I wish they
would do one of the others.

Bah, I just saw Charles Portis died. True Grit has just about as flawless
and human a voice as any American novel. One of the greats.
