Crews never said it, but he may have identified with Job, tossed between the Lord and Satan, a soul at war with its divine genesis and its all too flawed incarnation – the body electric, set before a typewriter.. No offe“The topic is compelling and important. a page-turner, indeed an often horrifying one it has great potential to greatly expanding our understanding of race, racial violence, and racial politics in the early twentieth century.”--Cary D.
