Presented here in Escape Velocity is a selection of Charles Portis's journalism, short fiction, memoir and even the play Delrays New Moon, published for the first time. Portis covers topics as varied as the civil rights movement, road tripping in Baja and Elvis's visits to his ageing mother. Fans of Portis's droll humour and quirky characters from his bestselling novels, including True Grit, will be thrilled at this collection, and those not yet familiar with his work will find a great introduction to him here. Also included are tributes by authors including Donna Tartt and Ron Rosenbaum. 'Portis really shines in this collection as an essayist, especially as a travel writer..' - The New York Times. This copy of Escape Velocity is in very good condition. There is some slight scuffing at the bottom of the spine ( see photos) but the pages are bright and clean.
