Opplysninger
Includes bibliographical references (pages 403-406).. - Publisher Synopsis A lean and pleasingly consumable book ... Harry Crews led a big, strange, sad and somehow very American life. It is well told here." - Dwight Garner, New York Times; "Does real justice to a complicated, outsized literary figure ... Trying to separate the conjoined twins of Harry Crews, the shit-kicking, vodka-swilling legend, and Harry Crews, the person, is a delicate, messy operation. Blood, Bone, and Marrow manages to do it without either dying on the table." - Margaret Eby, New Republic. - The first full-length biography of one of the most unlikely figures in twentieth-century American literature, a writer who emerged from a dirt-poor South Georgia tenant farm and went on to create a singularly unique voice of fiction
