Also, closest thing I ever found to Portis was Padgett Powell, although of course it is not quite an exact match.

From Library of America enewsletter:
Jay Jennings, editor of the LOA edition of Portis’s collected works, recently went through the archive and wrote about the experience on our website. Though he didn’t find an unpublished draft of a novel “set in Veracruz and involving chiropractors or witches,” he did unearth a wealth of material shedding light on the famously shoptalk-averse Portis’s craft and process.
