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.

NOT TO MENTION CAMELS

Lafferty's most surreal book? A nightmare, a massacre, a parable ? 

This is too much of the strong stuff! I won't rate it, but I will just recommend to the novice Laffery readers to not buy this as your first or second Lafferty book.

Hey!!! Why not?

It was my first Laffery book and I enjoyed a lot. I think it's an awesome novel. I read it several times.
No one of the other novels by him likes me as much as this. It's unique.

I agree, it was neat. I haven't read any other novels, but I live in Tulsa, and just three years ago, Lafferty died in Broken Arrow, right outside where I am. I'm not a true fan yet, but I'm just saying, does that seem kinda bizarre in a way? Because I had no clue of that until this web site. And I'd enjoyed his stuff- this and 900 Grndmothers. How wierd!
