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.

Brain Fever Season

OK Fun story about a brain fever that plagues the northern hemissphere. Suddenly porno stores start selling intellectual books by the truckloads. Sounds like Roy Mega and Austro have their mischievous fingers in this...
"Who turned me on, odd fish ?" Gippo Sharpface
asked as he came in on nervous but exuberant
fox feet, with two dozen books in his arms and
one opened in his left hand. "I was in
Singapore, our mother city, the porno capital of
the world, and it hit me there. 'Why don't you
have Emanuel Visconti's Costive Cosmologies Feed ?'
I howled at the storekeeper.
...
Gippo was all this time speed-reading books and
tossing them over his shoulder behind him like
banana skins.
