Crews, Harry.

THE KNOCKOUT ARTIST; [Association copy, inscribed].

New York: Harper & Row, (1988). First edition. INSCRIBED BY CREWS on title page, "To Walter Sullivan/ Best to you and yours/ Harry Crews." Walter Sullivan (1924-2006) was an author, critic, longtime Vanderbilt University professor, and authority on Southern literature. Crews' is a distinctive voice among Southern writers, and this story of a boxer with a glass jaw is "virtuoso Crews--as mordantly funny as it is unflinching in the face of every foible of bedraggled humanity" (from the dust jacket flap). Near fine with faint stain to page fore edges; in bright, fine dust jacket. Increasingly scarce book, especially so signed or inscribed.
