This is a book club episode. In it, Travis and Amanda will discuss and analyze the second half of True Grit by Charles Portis. You should expect full “spoilers,” discussions of rhetorical elements, and celebrations / critiques of style and substance.
From the cover: “First brought to the big screen in the classic 1969 western starring John Wayne and remade brilliantly in 2010 by the Coen brothers and starring Jeff Bridges, True Grit is eccentric, cool, straight, and unflinching, like Mattie Ross herself. From a writer of true status, this is an American classic through and through.”
