Charles Portis

Happily reading The Dog of the South by Charles Portis (he of True Grit quasi-reknown). Very funny, quirky and true, etc. "Like an A Confederacy of Dunces that doesn't suck!" - some guy, somewhere. Portis was described as "shy, gifted" in the December 1989 GQ and it's true! I mean check out one of the three or so images of him available on the Electric World Net:


I mean, he's just begging for Bob Duvall to play him in a movie.
Who but a "shy, gifted" recluse would have this hostage-like photo out there?
Politburo-y as f-ck!
