True Grit by Charles Portis

5.0

re-read 3 or 4 of this book. it's so short and fast and simple, plot wise. mattie's voice is 90% of the genius here. she's batshit and perfect. just the story of avenging frank ross' blood in the choctaw nation with snow on the ground. i wish there was a secret list of all books as self-possessed and satisfying as this one. give me the list. i know you have it.
