Blood, Bone, and Marrow - A Biography of Harry Crews

In 2010, Ted Geltner drove to Gainesville, Florida, to pay a visit to Harry Crews and ask the legendary author if he would be willing to be the subject of a literary biography. His health rapidly deteriorating, Crews told Geltner he was on board. "Ask me anything you want, bud," Crews said. "But you'd better do it quick.” The result is Blood, Bone, and Marrow.
