If one of Harry Crew's 20 something books had to be picked out for salvation among them all, this is it! Here he first shows us his penchant for freaks, but more importantly his ability to wrap man's world in the God of ignorance. This work is corrolary to O'Connor's "Wise Blood" asinmuch as everyone believes that God lives in New Yawk City. Where else would a Garden Hills cheerleader go to find God?
I intend to get hold of Harry and find out what's in print or not in print and if he wants to get some more of his work out. I'll do it, and damned the expense. That's how strongly I believe in this and much of his work. ( )

A ferocious satire of American society that leaves teeth marks and is as relevant today as the day it was written.

A surefire antibiotic to The Confederacy of Dunces.

Should definitely NOT be out of print, but no suprise that it is. ( )
