R.A. Lafferty Devotional Page




The Works

This is a list of all known shortstories, that Lafferty wrote. I allowed myself the liberty to give a short critique to each story I've read. Excellent is a story that I'd recommend to anyone. OK is a story a Lafferty fan would like. Lame are short stories, that are either really boring or just lesser variations of a recurrent theme.

You can now add your own comments to each story if you like, or read what other readers wrote.

Excellent The Wrecks - a race of con-artists - live amongst the humans. But interracial relationships are "unthinkable". Is every outstanding con-artist a "wreck" ? A difficult question for a "wreck" girl in love with the greatest swindler on earth.

While reading this story I kept marveling at the names given to various con schemes. I still intend to find out if RAL just made them up of whether these are actually real. Whichever, this is a little gem of a story.
