A Brilliant Writer,
This review is from: Splendor in the Short Grass: The Grover Lewis Reader (Hardcover)
I always liked Grover Lewis' brilliant and insightful writing for Rolling Stone magazine, so it's great to have a collection of pieces from this unjustly neglected author. His poetry is a little darker than I expected but that's not too surprising considering his troubled youth, which is detailed in the biographical sketch that begins the book. Those interested in cinema (or great writing) will find much to enjoy here, particularly the pieces on Sam Peckinpah and the making of The Last Picture Show. I was a little disappointed that the pieces on Paul Newman and Charlie Smith (the oldest man in America in 1972) were not included, but that's a minor quibble. This is a superb book!
