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.

This is Homers Odyssey put into galactic surroundings. Well, Ulysses didn't battle the nordic gods, nor did he play poker with snakes. So its actually quite different... You could also classify it as a collection of short stories featuring the same cast of characters, because the episodes are just loosely knit together. 

Lafferty rhymes horribly, but writes like a genius and many small paragraphs contain complete, hilarious short stories in themselves (like f.e. the bit about Pyotr Igrokovitch).

Very Hilarious & Entertaining stories.
Bettr than the 13th Voyage of Sindbad although that's not too bad in itself.
