R. A. Lafferty: A Past Master aka The Cranky Old Man from Tulsa

R. A. Lafferty is one of the lesser known classic science fiction greats. Many of the better known authors are fans of Lafferty's fiction. Go to this recent posting by Mir called A Past Master of CSF.... Mir has posted quotes by such authors as Neil Gaiman, Roger Zelazny, Arthur C. Clarke, Alan Dean Foster and Terry Carr. Her review and analysis of "And Now Walk Gently Through the Fire" is very insightful. I will have to track down this story and read it for myself.

The R. A. Lafferty tribute page is located by following this link http://www.geocities.com/konstiantin/osfw/authors/RAL.html.

This is an author that I will be adding to my list of classic author review list.
