Lafferty's Fourth Mansions (ft. Gregorio Montejo)
Manage episode 477169418 series 2976081
How the heck do I describe this book?
In 1969, R. A. Lafferty wrote a novel. In it, he combined the spirituality of St. Theresa of Avila, conspiracy theories, immortal frog-men, psychic brain powers based on the ideas of the French paleontologist priest, Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, badgers, modernist painters, and much, much more.
Reading a Lafferty story is like listening to an excitable drunk tell you an impossible, rambling shaggy dog story. You don't believe it when you're drunk, but you do when you sober up.
Gregorio Montejo, of Ktistec Press, returns to the show to discuss Lafferty's Fourth Mansions.
