Octavo, cloth. First edition. The author's third collection of short fiction, "sixteen stories by a satirist whose fantasies are peopled with appealing grotesqueries. R. A. Lafferty's unique imaginative world, sardonic and strange, is shown to its best advantage in his short fiction . In DOES ANYONE ELSE HAVE SOMETHING FURTHER TO ADD? we are treated to a full complement of Lafferty's malicious virtuosity and sly tomfoolery." - Greta Eisner. Includes "Mad Man," a tale of the future in which the creation of robots depends on a chemical produced only by people in furious rages, and "Maybe Jones and the City," a parody of the utopian impulse in which the protagonist searches the universe for the Perfect Place. Survey of Science Fiction Literature II, pp. 574-78. See Anatomy of Wonder (2004) II-622. A fine copy in fine dust jacket priced $6.95 on the front flap. (#173357).
