Doug Crandell is the critically acclaimed author of two novels, two memoirs, and one true crime book. Crandell was named Georgia Author of the Year in 2008 by the Georgia Writers Association and was a 2007 Barnes & Noble Discover Great New Writers Pick. Originally from Indiana, he now lives in Douglasville, Georgia.

I'm a big fan of Doug Crandell's book Pig Boy's Wicked Bird and so was looking forward to reading The Peculiar Boars of Malloy. Like Pig Boy, this book has a unique sense of place and the writing is characterized by a sharp wit. It's a rural comedy in the tradition of rural comedies—perhaps even of Restoration comedies—without the wealthy people. It has that same sense of the absurd.
