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.

World Abounding

OK Planet Aphtonia is a marvel of fertility. Two men and three women enter the planet. By god there's sex in a Lafferty story, though not very much of course.

The story is only OK, but the opening paragraphs spell out Lafferty's sci-fi setting: the planets he writes about in other stories are placed in orbit around one of the three stars of the Alpha Centauri/Proxima Centauri/Beta Centauri trinary system.
