"How noisome it is that the innovators are never great men, and that great men are never good for anything but just being great men."
R. A. Lafferty, "Eurema's Dam"
Earlier this month “The Best of R.A Lafferty” came out, which I illustrated the cover for last year. It’s a really fun collection of short sci-fi stories and tall tales, def worth picking up if that sounds like your kinda thing
Also just v excited to have done an SF Masterworks cover!

I’m trying to read this while I eat dinner. I’m still kind of in DF Wallace mode, but my dad gave this to me, and Delany seems to dig it...
I’m not sure if the writing is like this because RA Lafferty isn’t very good, or if he’s trying to write as dramatically different culture would speak, but it’s giving me a headache. It’s full of sentences that are technically alright, but constructed in an almost incoherent way.
Or maybe I just lost the ability to focus.
This is such a wonderful and strange book. More fantasy than science fiction, but mostly mixing elements of tall tales and ghost stories it tells the story of a puckish and murderous clan of children. Lafferty's style was sui generis. He was brilliant in the short form as well, with Nine Hundred Grandmothers being one of his best short story collections.
