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.

Hog-Belly Honey

ExcellentExcellent The Hog-Belly Honey is about the finest garbage disposal ever invented. Joe Spade and Maurice Maltravers are its inventors. A match made in heaven or in their own words:  
"Maurice and me is partners," 
I tell them all. "We look alike and think alike. 
We even talk alike."
"Save I in the hieratic and he in the demotic,"
Maurice say.

This is my favorite Lafferty story.
