Reviews
One of my favorite writers. Prose so luminous, it should be constructed with Lite-Brite pegs and cathode electrical discharge tubes rather than inked font on paper fiber. Sherman the Swan is one of my favorite short stories in all the world. (It's the eighth story in this collection - but you'll want to read all eleven - each one an opalescent beauty.)
