This is a HUGE book. Encyclopedia HUGE. And its best devoured in small chunks. I daresay I'll be reading this (off & on) for at least the next year or so. That's okay.

This book is MASSIVE. Over four thousand pages of Rafferty's compete short story output. it is NOT light, casual reading. Lafferty's work is often complex, dense & sometimes difficult to follow. The appropriate word here would be 'unconventional'. It's also incredibly brilliant & often times hilarious. There was no one else like him. He was a true American original. I love his 'Institute for Impure Science' stories.
