Davis Grubb Books
July 23, 1919 – July 24, 1980
Grubb crafts dark tales that draw from observations of economic and social hardship within American society. His works often explore the psychology of characters grappling with external threats and internal demons. Though his visual art career was curtailed by color blindness, Grubb integrated drawn elements into his writing through sketches. His most celebrated novel became a classic in both literary and film forms, and his distinct style continues to resonate.
