‎FOURTH MANSIONS‎

‎London: Dennis Dobson 1972. Octavo boards. First British and first hardcover edition. "Nowhere is Lafferty's devout Catholicism more evident than in this strange mélange of a novel which incorporates elements of fantasy and science fiction while being indefinable as either. The book's madcap characters and bizarre settings are typical Lafferty as is the uncertainty about whether the wild plot essentially a secret history of the world amounts to a complete allegory or simply a crazy game -- or perhaps both. No matter since the result is also typical Lafferty in being highly entertaining and absorbing." - Barron ed Fantasy and Horror 1999 7-217. The earlier American paperback original was published as part of the highly regarded Ace "Specials" series. 1970 Nebula nominee. Anatomy of Wonder 2004 II-621. Barron ed Fantasy Literature 4A-157.
