“Crews’s novel, published in 1988, is finally on audio, and it’s worth the wait. Matt Godfrey’s masterful storytelling brings it to life…Godfrey shines in the final scene in which Biggs faces tough decisions that will leave a lasting impression on the listener. Winner of the AudioFile Earphones Award.”

A favorite of longtime Harry Crews fans, The Knockout Artist (1988) portrays Eugene Talmadge Biggs, a young boxer from rural Georgia whose champion rise is diverted by a vulnerability, or gift, for knocking himself unconscious. As he begins to exploit his talents, the notorious Knockout Artist journeys a hero’s descent into the New Orleans underworld and meets characters who have long since checked their morals at the door. The unforgettable climax shows Crews at his virtuoso best, when Eugene confronts his truth, and sets out to claim his freedom and win his own self-respect.
