Kiki and The Sheep Man, an odd fellow who wears a sheepskin and speaks in a toneless rush, visit the narrator in visions that lead him to two mysteries, one metaphysical (how to survive the unsurvivable) and the other physical (a call girl's murder). In his searchings, he encounters a clairvoyant 13-year-old, her misguided parents and a one-armed poet.]]> 1988 3 0 false Fri Nov 13 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sat Oct 31 08:59:08 -0700 2009 Fri Nov 13 16:45:31 -0800 2009 not soon.
