more than anything this leon rooke cat is reminding me of bob pollard of gbv fame, insofar as you'll have stuff that gets stuck in your head for days bc everything just clicks ("friendship and property," "mama tuddi," the title one, "lady godiva's horse") cheek to jowl with stuff that's absolutely tuneless and too long by a third ("break and enter," "conversations with ruth")... on the whole there seem to be more "hardcore ufo"s than "her psychology today"s if you catch my drift, so i def plan on seeking out more

A fine collection of short stories so far. I almost feel guilty, only paying $1.08 for a pristine first edition.
