About this Item

Signed by Author Harry Crews with an inscription on the half title page. Half black cloth to purple boards, White spine titles. 8vo, 8.25 inches tall. The bindings are tight and square. Text is clean; light, even age-toning. Minimal shelf handling wear. Some age-spotting on the text block. The Mylar protected dust jacket has the price of $5.95 intact; evenly age-toned, edges and corners fine. An intense novel, the author s third, that reflects the his raw style, centered on Stoney, a wrestler whose strength mirrors his personal struggles. In a violent, bleak world, Stoney faces an existential crisis, confronting questions of redemption in a life that shows little mercy. Crews combines dark humor with vividly drawn, authentic characters, delving into themes of isolation, redemption, and the destructive power of toughness. Through Stoney, he critiques a culture that demands strength but punishes vulnerability. Crews s stark, uncompromising style immerses readers in his characters' lives. This novel, rich in Southern Gothic themes, captures the complexities of human nature in its darkest moments. [Adapted from Reviews].
