Portis covers topics as varied as the civil rights movement, road tripping in Baja and Elvis's visits to his ageing mother. Fans of Portis's droll humour and quirky characters from his bestselling novels, including True Grit, will be thrilled at this collection, and those not yet familiar with his work will find a great introduction to him here. Also included are tributes by authors including Donna Tartt and Ron Rosenbaum.
