Book reports used to be a thing in school, and kids actually had to read the book before writing the report. True Grit was my first book report. Fast forward, with a new English degree and a newer job as a bank teller in Little Rock, ... I cashed a check for Mr. Portis -- without knowing it. Only after he had walked out did one of the floor managers, who knew I was an English major, walk up an tell me who I'd just met. My one brush with literary fame.
