What do all humans need, besides the food, shelter, peace, love, laughter, freedom, and perhaps some “loving early in the morning”? In his wide-ranging fiction-nonfiction collection, What We All Need, written in “defiance of markets, market research, custom, good sense,” Richard Crasta refuses to bow to any “Grand Panjandrum of Morality or Good Sense” and suggests that publication, honesty, transparency, and confession as being, for him, intrinsically noble and sacred endeavors.
