Re: R A Lafferty

I'm a Lafferty fan; he is among my favorite writers in any genre.

I liked "Space Chantey", it is a fun reworking of the Odyssey set in the Space Age.

"Not to mention camels" is a more difficult read, but still very interesting. Like PKD's "The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch", the book is about an evil messianic figure who seeks to impinge himself upon all of reality. And, of course, it is a novelization of Jesus's famous adage about camels and rich people.
