Order of Charles Portis Books
Charles Portis stands as a distinctive voice in American literature, best known for his acclaimed novels Norwood and True Grit. His masterful storytelling has captured the attention of Hollywood, with both works making their way to the silver screen—Norwood was brought to life in 1970 featuring Glen Campbell, while True Grit enjoyed two film adaptations, first in 1969 with John Wayne and later in a 2010 remake. Critics have recognized Portis as "one of the most inventively comic writers of western fiction," praising his unique blend of humor and frontier storytelling.
Portis launched his literary career in 1966 with the publication of his first novel, Norwood. His most recent work to date, Gringos, appeared in 1991. Here you'll find Charles Portis' complete bibliography arranged chronologically by publication date:
