A review by quietjenn
Norwood by Charles Portis

5.0

The more I think about this, the more I like it. I'd never heard of it (I don't think?) until I saw it mentioned on some book list about a month ago and since then I've seen mentions of it popping up all over the place, so maybe it's being re-discovered? Certainly not the book I expect from Portis, of whom I know little save True Grit (and even that I haven't read, just know the very basic outline of), but I intend to remedy that. It's funny and meandering and definitely Of It's Time, but I liked it tremendously.
