Though John Crowley, author of Engine Summer, is perhaps not as well known as the most widely read American writers of the past fifty years, his work has had several influential champions, including the poet James Merrill and the literary critic Harold Bloom. According to journalist Graeme Wood, Bloom claimed to have read Crowley’s novel Little, Big at least forty-six times, and in his posthumously published afterword to a 2022 edition of the book, Bloom referred to Crowley as a “major writer” and said, “There is no other book by a writer still with us that I love as deeply.”
