A couple of weeks back, I was looking for John Berryman’s biographical study of Stephen Crane. I did not find it, but I did find a signed hardback edition (not sure if it’s a first or second printing) of Harry Crews’s amazing memoir A Childhood.
Here’s the opening paragraph:
I already have the book (it’s included in Classic Crews—the best starting place for Crews (you should start)), but I couldn’t pass up a signed copy. (It was like 8 bucks I think, and I have store credit out the wazoo).
Still looking for that Crane biography though.

I recognized the Crews name but only remember him for “Karate is a Thing of the Spirit,” if it’s the same Crews.

What a bargain. Very jealous. And yes, I started with Classic Crews and would recommend it unreservedly.

Crews is one of the best. Great find.
