I don't have words for how exciting this is. The author of this blog is Andrew Ferguson. He is the first person to write a scholarly paper on Lafferty and he is due to be Lafferty's first biographer relatively soon. (The biography to be published within a few years from now, I believe.) I know first hand from reading his academic works on Lafferty and from email correspondence and from his contributions to the discussions on this fan-blog that there is no living person who knows as much gritty, juicy, exciting detail about Lafferty's life and bibliography than this dedicated young scholar. He is also the foremost interpreter of Lafferty, performing highly sophisticated academic pyrotechnics in his scholarly papers on Lafferty. They will make your head spin with their intellectual rigour and utterly delight you with the insight and enlightenment they bring to a reading of Lafferty's hyper-exotic and ultra-inimitable fiction.
I'm sorry I've kept you so long with my paltry recommendation! Go forth from here and read the REAL Lafferty blog...
