Hmm …

… Celebrating Charles Portis’s Comic Masterpiece ‘The Dog of the South’ - The Ringer. (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)

Depending on your temperament as a reader and your patience for digression you may find yourself feeling as frustrated and hamstrung as many of the characters in Portis’s books. Like the broken-down Buick that Ray finds himself piloting, The Dog of the South moves in fits and starts with so many side trips and diversions it is possible at times to forget how or why we are even in Honduras in the first place.
Rather like this article.
