Book: True Grit

I read True Grit ling before prison and then again during prison. I always thought it brilliant. 

Kerry Temple agrees and wrote up here agreement in Notre Dame magazine's What I’m Reading: True Grit, by Charles Portis:

That said, the book works mainly because it’s fun to read. A good tale told well — and told through Mattie’s singular voice — provides a welcome off-ramp to all going on in the world these days, an antidote and escape from the pandemic and politics, wildfires and hurricanes.

Yep, it is all of that.
