Ep. 49 True Grit

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. The Pink Smoke site:
