King of the Mild Frontier: An Ill-Advised Autobiography by Chris Crutcher

5.0

I've only ever read Deadline before, but I really enjoyed it. So when I read his autobiography I expected to like it to. Well I did, it is one of my favorite books that I've read in a while an probably one of my top three English Festival books. It's funny and humble at the same time as serious and kind if inspiring. The only issue I had was getting used to how he went back and forth in his childhood a lot, though I understand why. It's not exactly supposed to in chronological order and it worlds for him. I also wish he wrote more about his later life but to be honest his childhood is interesting enough to suffice. This made me a fan if Crutcher and I'm glad I picked it up.
