\n A #1 New York Times bestseller, Charles Portis\u2019s True Grit is \u201can epic and a legend\u201d (Washington Post), a story of danger and adventure in the Old West\u2014the basis for two award-winning films, the first starring John Wayne in his only Oscar-winning role, as Marshall Rooster Cogburn, and the widely praised remake by the Coen brothers, starring Jeff Bridges.<\/p>\n

\u201cQuite simply, an American masterpiece.\u201d \u2014Boston Globe<\/p>\n

\u201cCharles Portis had a wonderful talent\u2014original, quirky, exciting.\u201d \u2014Larry McMurtry<\/p>\n

Charles Portis has long been acclaimed as one of America\u2019s most enduring and incomparable literary voices, and his novels have left an indelible mark on the American canon. True Grit, his most famous novel, was first published in 1968, and has garnered critical acclaim as well as enthusiastic praise from countless passionate fans for more than 50 years.<\/p>\n

True Grit tells the story of Mattie Ross, who is just 14 when the coward Tom Chaney shoots her father in Fort Smith, Arkansas, and robs him of his life, his horse, and $150 in cash. Filled with an unwavering urge to avenge her father\u2019s blood, Mattie finds and, after some tenacious finagling, enlists one-eyed Rooster Cogburn, the meanest available US Marshal, as her partner in pursuit, and they head off into Indian Territory after the killer.<\/p>\n

True Grit is essential reading. Not just a classic Western, but an undeniable classic of American literature as eccentric, cool, funny, and unflinching as Mattie Ross herself. For fans of either the John Wayne classic or the Coen brothers\u2019 movie, it\u2019s a chance to relive the story of Mattie and Rooster and experience their story as it was originally told. For fans of taut, funny storytelling, it will be a joy to experience in its original form.<\/p>\n

This edition includes an afterword by bestselling author Donna Tartt (The Secret History and The Goldfinch) and a reading group guide. <\/p>\n
