Charles Portis' 'True Grit' story aims for revenge, redemption and loss
![Sometimes you read a book at the wrong time. That was the case for me with Charles Portis' 1968 novel "True Grit" (Tusk/Overlook: 236 pp., $14.95 paper), which I first picked up in the early 1970s, after seeing the film with John Wayne. Back then, I had no idea what Portis was doing; I read the book as if it were in the vein of, say, Sid Fleischman's "By the Great Horn Spoon!," a novel for young readers about the Gold Rush. Both take place in the Old West, and both involve adolescent protagonists, but there the resemblance ends.](http://www.latimes.com/media/thumbnails/story/2010-12/58296953-16170822.jpg "Sometimes you read a book at the wrong time.

Thoughts from Dr. Joe: Finding 'True Grit'
It was July 4th, 1969. I had a 24-hour pass, so I headed to D.C. Thought I'd take in movie, then see the fireworks at the Washington Monument. This would be my last hurrah before the hell week of infantry school.

Reel Critics: 'True Grit' a truly great movie
Let's cut to the chase. "True Grit" is one of the very best films of the year.
