About This Book
Charles Portis has long been acclaimed as one of America's foremost
comic writers. True Grit is his most famous novel--first published in
1968, and the basis for the movie of the same name starring John Wayne
and now the film by the Coen brothers starring Jeff Bridges and Matt
Damon.
It tells the story of Mattie Ross, who is just fourteen years of age
when a coward going by the name of Tom Chaney shoots her father down in
Fort Smith, Arkansas, and robs him of his life, his horse, and $150 in
cash money. Mattie leaves home to avenge her father's blood. With the
one-eyed Rooster Cogburn, the meanest available U.S. Marshal, by her
side, Mattie pursues the homicide into Indian Territory.
True Grit is eccentric, cool, straight, and unflinching, like Mattie
herself.
From a writer of true cult status, this is an American classic through
and through. This new edition, with a smart new package and an afterword
by acclaimed author Donna Tartt, will bring this masterpiece to an even
broader audience.
