Summary:
"Charles Portis is now recognized as a singular American genius, a writer whose deadpan style, picaresque plots, and unforgettable characters have drawn a passionate following among readers and writers. 'His fiction,' Roy Blount Jr. has said, 'is the funniest I know.' Library of America now presents the definitive Portis collection, featuring all five of his novels -- Norwood (1966), True Grit (1968), The Dog of the South (1979), Masters of Atlantis (1985), and Gringos (1991) -- and his collected stories, including the imaginary travelogue 'Nights can turn cool in Viborra' and the haunting 'I don't talk service no more,' set in a psychiatric facility. A selection of Portis's nonfiction highlights his journalism from the civil rights movement, his coverage of the Nashville music scene in the 1960s, and the beguiling family memoir 'Combinations of Jacksons.'"
