Feast of Laughter

If you love R. A. Lafferty’s wondrous and transpossible stories, you’ve come to that love by unmarked roads. You’ve made your own way into one of the densest and most crazily jigsawed mythworlds ever created—a body of work that nobody will ever see all the way into, and no two will ever see the same way. You’ve helped dig out a labyrinth, and it’s a joyous thing, but the labyrinth is more than the digging. This volume is dedicated to the observation that the fog of obscurity is ever so slowly lifting from Lafferty’s world, and every year it’s a little easier to find your way in. It’s dedicated to all the raw colts—the old ones and young—who are coming to these works for the first time.
