True Grit by Charles Portis 4.5 stars #8 of 2022 . Mattie Ross proves herself quite quickly to be a most charmingly blunt, if often naive, narrator in this remarkable little western. Plot aside. I think what’s most important about the novel is the fact that it actually sounds like it’s written by a 14yr old which adds a lovely authenticity, as opposed to most novels with a teenaged protagonist that read like they were written by a 40yr old English Major with access to a thesaurus. . #truegrit #charlesportis #mattieross #minimonotonebookclub #booksivereadin2022 #booksivedrawnin2022 #booksreillustrated #bookstagram #houlart #houl https://www.instagram.com/p/CdkiXd7hhrs/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
