STANLEY CRAWFORD (1937–2024) was a writer and a farmer. He was co-owner with his wife, Rose Mary, of El Bosque Farm in Dixon, New Mexico, where they lived since 1969. Crawford was educated at the University of Chicago and at the Sorbonne. He was the author of nine novels, including Village, Log of the S.S. The Mrs. Unguentine, Travel Notes, GASCOYNE, and Some Instructions, plus two award-winning memoirs, A Garlic Testament: Seasons on a Small Farm in New Mexico, and Mayordomo: Chronicle of an Acequia in Northern New Mexico. His last book, The Garlic Papers: A Small Garlic Farm in the Age of Global Vampires chronicled his massive legal battle against a Chinese garlic importer and its several international law firms, and was the subject of a Netflix documentary, “Garlic Breath,” in the six-part series Rotten. High Country News called him “one of the most original and incisive authors writing about the West.”
