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 Just the intro: 
He was about the last of them.
What ? The last of the great individualists ? The
last of the true creative geniuses of the century ?
The last of the sheer precursors ?
No. No. He was the last of the dolts.
Kids were being born smarter all the time when he
came along, and they would be so forever more. He
was about the last dumb kid ever born.
