It’s great to see someone write about Harry Crews. He wrote terrific outrageous and violent novels about the South. I especially recommend Body (about bodybuilding which I have no interest in but loved the book). Also try A Feast of Snakes, All We Need of Hell, and Car.
Crews also taught Michael Connolly whose fine mystery novels have no resemblance to Crews’s work.
Sad! 
Love Harry Crews. Great writer.
