The Ghost of Books: Part I
“As for wishes, it used to be that whenever I’d see a Portis novel in a used bookstore (Cliff’s in Pasadena is a trove), I’d pick it up and throw it in the back of my station wagon to hand off to any deserving new friend. I have read Norwood maybe eighteen times, and it only gets funnier: “You think I don’t know that people don’t like me on account of my personality?” But I’m done with doling Portis out piecemeal. O, Overlook Press, it is time to collect his novels, chronologically, in one big tome! Do it now! Relieve me of my project of sewing each together, cover to cover.”
