John Crowley


USA flag (b.1942)

John Crowley was born in the appropriately liminal town of Presque Isle, Maine. He teaches creative writing at Yale University. In 1992 he received the Award in Literature from the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters. He finds it more gratifying that almost all of his work is still in print.

John Crowley recommends
thumb
The Silverberg Business (2022)
Robert Freeman Wexler
"Certainly the strangest book I've ever read, and strangeness is a thing that I take to. The grotesque horrors, the impossibilities, the shifting scenes, Silverberg's skull, the skull-heads, the wooden house that turns into a mansion without the detective finding it particularly odd. It is in fact a book not like anything I've ever read."
thumb
Finding Baba Yaga (2018)
Jane Yolen
"This novel-in-verse is a journey, an escape, and an encounter with an ambiguous evil. Tart and touching and sometimes deeply sad, with surprising stings of wit."
thumb
Trash Sex Magic (2004)
Jennifer Stevenson
"A winning, touching, open-eyed love letter. Unusual and wonderfully done."
