Abstract "Robert Cochran's Haunted Man's Report is a pioneering study of the novels and other writings of Charles Portis (1933-2020), best known for True Grit and its film adaptations. Hailed by one critic as "the author of classics on the order of a twentieth-century Mark Twain" and as America's "least-known great novelist," Portis has garnered a devoted fan base with his inventive westerns, picaresque characters, and singular talent for injecting comedy into even the smallest turn of phrase"-- Provided by publisher.
