and brief bio
Great, short
blurb with quotes about Crouch "... one group is everybody else
and the other is Stanley Crouch ... a strong enemy of the lies and illusions
our country has, piercing the
plump, self-satisfied dogmas of racists and nationalists alike ... a true
intellectual warrior."

Discussion
questions about The All-American Skin Game
A former student of his writes:
I remember Mr.Crouch from the spring of '69 when
he was my English teacher at Pitzer College and he
used to elicit waves of laughter from the class
by standing next to the podium and uttering 2
words: "Tom Jones!" (It was sort of a running
joke/commentary on his part about that Welsh
singing guy who had a very popular TV show
at the time). Then there were the 2 weeks when Mr.
Crouch didn't show up for class because of high school
demonstrations in L.A. and nobody knew if he was
ever coming back to finish the class and some of us who
were about to graduate were wondering if we
were going to get in those units or not. He did
return and it was a good class, never a dull
moment. I have wondered if this famous
literary man is the same Mr. Crouch from those
days, and it seems that he is.
Ah, the '60's! What a decade!
The other Stanley Crouch has a web page, a "Crouch Group,"
and his own Stanley R. Crouch alumni page. He looks a lot like my relatives,
especially around the ears. Links to his pages:
