Mad Man
by R.A. Lafferty· 2023
R. A. Lafferty’s body of short fiction is comprised of well over 200 stories.
Step foot inside the world of R. A. Lafferty, a jester and satirist. Known for his brand of tall tales, Lafferty makes sense of the nonsensical.
“Posterior Analytics” is a poke at experts. “In the Turpentine Trees” defines the deity in the clouds. “Junkyard Thoughts” explores what is on top of mind in a waste lot.
Marvel at Drumhead Joe, a lawman hot on the trail of a murderer. In “Mad Man,” George Gnevni flips the switch from the mad maniac to sane lap dog only to lose his good standing. Gang warfare takes to the heavens in “And All the Skies are Full of Fish,” where local kids show off their kinetic powers to a goading public.
“All the Pieces of a River Shore” features roaming waterways. In “Dorg,” a prophetic but spooked cartoonist deals with cause and effect. “One-Eyed Mocking-Bird” shows that too much knowledge is ripe for paradox.
This Centipede Press edition features an introduction by Scott Bradfield and an interview with Lafferty led by Ron Wolfe.
