About True Grit

Charles Portis's True Grit (1968) is narrated by Mattie Ross, a fourteen-year-old from Yell County, Arkansas, who hires the one-eyed U.S. Marshal Rooster Cogburn to pursue the man who killed her father into Indian Territory. One of the great American novels: perfect period voice, dark comedy, and moral seriousness combined in a short, propulsive narrative.
