James A. Crank is an associate professor of English and the director of undergraduate studies at Northwestern State University in Natchitoches, Louisiana, USA. Crank has written on artists as diverse as James Agee, Sherman Alexie and Eudora Welty.
�Written with great lucidity and wearing its considerable erudition lightly, Understanding Sam Shepard is the perfect introduction to Shepard for both beginning and advanced students of American drama. Because of its subtlety and depth of textual analysis, the book is equally valuable for the scholar. James A. Crank unearths Shepard�s buried children and their cursed families in all their complexity and mystery, making a compelling case for the unity and profundity of Shepard�s mythic vision of America.��Henry I. Schvey, professor of drama and comparative literature, Washington University in St. Louis
