Hi, John, Good to hear from you. I agree very much with your
assessment of Crews. I visited him several times in
Gainesville with a mutual friend, and he became less
sociable, to put it mildly, year after year. I think the man
lives for writing above all other things and couldn't really
concentrate on being human or see a reason for it. I hate to
say it, but his writing went down hill after he stopped
drinking. However, I think it was because he stopped too
late, not that he needed the alcohol to write. His lifestyle
seemed to have really caught up with him and he knew it. I do
think Scar Lover is still in "his realm" and he made somewhat
of a comeback with Celebration, but I am probably too
obsessed to be reliable. Vicki
