Crews is, obviously, a unique southern raconteur. . . . It's easy to despise poor folks. "A Childhood makes it more difficult." It raises almost to a level of heroism these people who seem of a different century. "A Childhood" is not about a forgotten America, it is about a part of America that has rarely, except in books like this, been properly discovered.--New York Times Book Review
It is Crews' great gift that he can show us how absolutely cursed, and alsolutely beautiful, we are. . . . Crews burns through the easy ways in which we would like to regard ourselves; what he leaves behind is something better, something touched by the refiner's fire.--"New York Newsday"
