Charles Portis

This is the first Charles Portis book I’ve read, and I’m still not completely sure what to think. It was hilarious in parts, witty in parts, and down right confounding in parts. The confounding part was basically the entire story (completely character driven) that just refused to conform to any sort of expected plot points. But the writing is so good that it didn’t matter. 

This book is unlike anything I’ve ever read. I enjoyed it enough to grab his more well-known books and keep exploring his work.
