Lafferty is an award winning author His best work remains unpublished. He says things that no one else is saying, and I swear he knowns things that no one else knows. The things that he says are true. He takes things seriously which we are forbidden to take seriously and laughs at things we are forbidden to laugh at. Make no mistake about it. This is a dangerous book. It is also a very funny book...." Very Good / Near Fine. Item #2026-S25
