(urth) This Week in Google Alerts: R.A. Lafferty

[Marc Aramini]

I foolishly passed on the Vance complete edition when it was being produced because I had read so much of his work already - if they did something similar with Lafferty I would almost certainly invest in it if the cost were at all reasonable, as I feel like the vast majority of his work is simply unavailable.

That was a strange event, the auctioning of his estate. So somebody bought it?  Maybe this grad student did. Huh.
