Show Notes
On this episode of The Pink Smoke podcast, we dig into Charles Portis’ classic Western, True Grit. Portis is a favorite author of hosts Christopher Funderburg & John Cribbs, a sui generis talent whose oddball humor & low-key weirdness defied easy categorization.
The discussion focuses, naturally, on the how the novel defines “true grit” in a moral context: the line separating “righteousness” from “goodness” - but mainly the hosts marvel over the novel’s marvelous language, sharp characterization, narrative ease and general genius.
