R. A. Lafferty

I've just started reading Lafferty's Sindbad: The 13th Voyage. (It's one of the books I picked up at Balticon.)

He is so weird. Whenever I read one of his stories, I feel like the straight man in a vaudeville act. ("I don't even know what I'm talking about!")

But he's usually entertaining. I'm looking forward to seeing where he's going with this. There is, of course, a significant probability that I won't, even after I finish the book.

Second thought: it occurs to me that you may be getting some mental crosslinking from R. A. Macavoy, who is a "she".
