Thank you for mentioning the Penguin reprints of Harry Crews!! One of my favorite authors. The Gospel Singer has been out of print for so long. I am glad to now be able to read it again. David Ray

Any time, David. Crews always deserves attention! We talked about him in one or two previous episodes as well... s

Thanks for the mention, Scott! I'm not a professional swimmer but I am a sports coach. 'He can write' made my day. (Each time I left a comment with a link to 'The Poster' it got deleted!)

Glad we finally got to it! Excelsior! s

Woody Allen's first writing gigs were to provide jokes for Perelman, among others, which went unaccredited of course; Allen was still in high school.

That sounds right... Allen's comic pieces for New Yorker always reminded me of Perelman... s
