Barry Crump’s first novel, A good keen man (1960), was a publishing sensation and was reprinted many times. A fictionalised account of Crump’s experiences during his deer-culling days, it advanced a stereotype of masculinity – the rough, wild, practical joker – that struck a chord with the reading public.
