1935, Bacon County, Georgia. The bite of the Great Depression was beginning to be felt in the rest of America, but its teeth had been in Bacon County for years. Here one of America’s most original storytellers, Harry Crews, was born in a sharecropper’s cabin at the end of a dirt road. A Childhood is his memoir of that time – his first years of life – and that place: the poor soil and the sickness, the blood feuds and the faith healers, the ghosts and the shopping catalogues. A profound vision of the rural South that resounds with the violence of poverty and the tenderness of kinship, A Childhood is a true American classic.
