I just found out that R.A. Lafferty, one of the most unique voices in sf,
has died.

Considered unpublishable by mainstream publishing houses, a minor
publishing boom among the small press have kept many of his story
collections and novels in print.

Some of his best stories were collected in _Lafferty in Orbit_ and _Nine
Hundred
Grandmothers_ which would be what I'd recommend people read.
