Max Crawford was a writer born and raised around Blanco Canyon, near Mount Blanco, Texas. He studied at the University of Texas and at Stanford University, where he held a writing fellowship under Wallace Stegner. He traveled widely after leaving Texas, living in California, Mexico, and France. He resided in Livingston, Montana until his death in May 2010. Many of his novels are set in West Texas, such as Lords of the Plain and The Backslider. Others, such as The Bad Communist, are set in California. His early novels were published by major New York City publishers, but many of his later works were self-published. The University of Oklahoma Press began publishing his work around 2002, both new and previously published titles. Crawford also published poems and wrote for literary publications.
