John HardenFound this #shortstory in a brittle old copy of Fantasy and Science Fiction that I've had since I was a kid. I'd never read any Lafferty before. He's a trip. It's absolutely sci-fi—the characters are exploring a new planet—but the language is sensual and florid and the plot nearly hallucinatory. It reads like poetry, or magic realism.

Episode 31 - In The Garden - R A Lafferty by Old Man Yells at Spaceship
The Old Man reads a story that contains space exploration, an idyllic planet, and a very unfortunate punchline. Our theme song is "The Universe Speaks" by Arthur Vyncke. You can hear more at soundcloud.com/arthurvost
David Kirkpatrick5/31/23 new arrival:
1. Mad Man: The Collected Short Fiction Volume Seven
2. R. A. Lafferty
3. Centipede Press
4. 2023
5. 1st limited HC 65/300
6. Why I own it: I'd only encountered a handful of stories by Lafferty - all of them were very different from each other but uniformly wonderful. When Centipede started this series, I was more than happy to purchase them all. Looking forward to this set; I think there's only two I've read before!
Theo WatsonFinally finished #GeneWolfe ‘s Solar Cycle ( Book of New Sun, Long Sun and Short Sun ). Already missing the Whorl but got these queued up to make up for it. Especially excited to read #RAlafferty. #SciFi #Books
