RIP Charles Portis. Whom Jochen talked me into reading.

[rich]

grand. I need to more writers to make me feel less mean. I cant think of
any others
There's something about Portis' work which evokes for me what fans of TV
character Mike Ehrmantraut would call 'competence porn'. men who knew how
to fix things but werent braggy about it
