Praise for The Gringo:

"Crawford is an outstanding and talented new writer. This is a must read."

— Chevy Chase, actor, comedian, writer

"Want the thrill of descrying a terrific new writing talent? You'll delight in the fresh perspective found in J. Grigsby Crawford's The Gringo. It's the Moby-Dick of Peace Corps stories—like sitting in the back seat during a head-on collision. It's what I imagine Hunter S. Thompson would have written had he lived a life of service." 

— G. Brown, award-winning author, rock & roll journalist, bon vivant

"Crawford joined the Peace Corps looking for experience and found it in spades. In appealing, clear-eyed prose, he recounts a series of adventures stretching from life threatening to slapstick, and a cast of characters too strange and flawed and hopeful to be anything but human. Often sardonic, occasionally romantic, and always vivid, The Gringo is a sobering record of this world's complexity—and, in its honesty, a heartening one too."

— Josh Swiller, New York Times best-selling author of The Unheard, 
award-winning journalist
