The genius of Charles Portis

[Dr.Z]

Thank you VERY much for the thread.  I have always been into reading.   I'm a big fan of Salinger, Roth, Fitzgerald & Hemingway (of course), Anthony Burgess, Easton Ellis, Mailer, McCarthy etc.   I've never read Portis and don't know a lot about him other than he wrote True Grit, died within the past year or so, and that I'd heard he was a bit reclusive (which of course was infamously used  to describe Salinger).  

I've been wanting to read something fictional, and from someone I haven't read.   It's been a while since I've picked something up.   The last one I read (fiction) was by Donald Ray Pollock (actually from Ohio).      Anyway, what would you recommend to me, if you don't mind?    Thanks!
