Daniel Otto Jack Petersen | The Hole On the Corner episode 1! R. A. Lafferty’s 1960s novels @Doctor_Rockter | Uploaded November 2022 | Updated October 2024, 56 minutes ago.
A little (unscripted) history on Lafferty’s start as a writer and then a whirlwind tour of his four debut novels. I try to categorise each one as either a romp or a rant!🤪 Please weigh in! What do you think of these novels? (Also please fact check me on any dates or other historical claims!)
I forgot to mention in the video that “The Hole on the Corner” is the name of a 1967 story by Lafferty, included in his seminal collection Nine Hundred Grandmothers (1970). It’s a multiverse story as only Lafferty could write it and aptly indicates the wildly varied adventures we’ll embark upon in this series. Enjoy and join in! #RALafferty #sciencefiction #literature #bookdiscussion #novels #1960s #weirdtales
