Crum : The Novel Paperback / softback

Description

The appearance of this novel in 1988 stirred deep feelings, and this second edition will no doubt do the same.

Maynard, a native of Crum (Wayne County), West Virginia, spins a shocking, often outrageous, always irreverent tale of a young man's rebellion against the people and the place which have surrounded his life.

Part Huckleberry Finn and part The Red and the Black, the story is ultimately not about the town of Crum, but about the need to reject the comfort and familiarity of home and find a place in the larger world.

At the same time, Crum is a touching and humorous look at small-town life, and at the peculiar rituals of male adolescence.

Since its highly successful first publication, this novel has become something of an underground classic, with used copies now scarce and costly.

Maynard adds a brief epilogue to this new edition, and West Virginia writer Meredith Sue Willis provides an introduction.
