Editorial Reviews
Ron Rosenbaum, Esquire
"Charles Portis is perhaps the most original, indescribable sui generis talent overlooked by literary culture in America."
Eliot Fremont-Smith, The New York Times
"True Grit is when you are a 14-year-old girl from Yell County, Arkansas, and you've just shot a dangerous outlaw and the gun's recoil has sent you backward into a pit, and you are wedged in the pit and sinking fast into the cave below where bats are brushing against your legs, and you reach out for something to hold on to and find a rotting corpse beside you and it's full of angry rattlers, and then it turns out you didn't kill the outlaw, he's up at the rim of the pit laughing at you, about to shoot you-and you don't lose your nerve. That's True Grit."
