I feel like the wallflower at a great party here, because if you didn't know it already, the appreciations accompanying each story will tell you that RA Lafferty is something of a cult darling. But I'm not feeling the love. Ordinarily, l like nothing better than off-beat stories, with bizarre and unexpected twist and turns. Quirky is my middle name, or would be, if my middle initial were "Q." But story after story, I read the fulsome praise from some of the great names of science fiction and fantasy, and then started reading the story itself and ... meh.
