R. A. Lafferty has an ODD sense of humour.  Probably the best description
would be a tall tale.  I personally enjoyed "Past Master", but have been
frequently at a loss with some of his other stories.  A large number of his
books are really pamphlets published by Chris Drumm.  Worth tring to see if
one matches his humor.

[C] == Short Story Collection.
[NSF] == Not SF
[CP] == Chapbook (a very short book, or pamphlet)..
