Summary: More fiction than fact
Comment: It seems to me that much of this material is made up by the author. I could not understand how private facts of Crane's life would be known in this way. I find this book very disturbing because of this. I think Crane is a great author but this book did not help me understand his work at all.

Summary: Finally a trustworthy biography of Crane
Comment: The Crane Log is a wonderful book which I have been reading over the past few days. I am surprised by the many underserved poor reviews this book has gotten. It must be stressed that this is a reference work, and one that is probably best read in snatches, and not in chronological order. includes day by day accounts, including fascinating liberal excerpts from memoirs of the people who knew him that allows you to form your own conception of Crane as he lived. For the first time we have a biographical work of Crane that is free of the fictions of Crane's first biographer, Thomas Beer. That is not something to grouse about.

Summary: Not Helpful...Except to go to Sleep
Comment: Stephen Crane wrote some great books and lead a fascinating life, but this day to day rehash of every trivial detail with none of the excitement of this great author's life is terrible! This book does a disservice to Crane and his memory...confusing, loooong, and boring.
