Book Review: 900 Grandmothers
Summary: 5 Stars
This one of the few books that I really treasure. After havingowned a German translation for something like 20 years, I got mypresent Dobson (London) edition about three years ago... Thank youAmazon.com for your excellent out of print book search facility, thisbook is worth every penny! (And it is nice to see it beeingreissued)My favorite story of course is the title story (which isactually based on a Kiowa myth, see W. W. Newcomb, Jr.: The Indians ofTexas).
"Slow Tuesday Night" is a close second, all therest is simply great.
Lafferty combines strange humour, tallfrontier tales, and native myths into weird stories told in a freshand bold approach at the English language.
