Description: For your consideration is this copy of Charles Portis : Collected Works edited by Jay Jennings. 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' 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.” Hardcover with dustjacket, published 2023 by The Library of America.
