John Hertz’ contribution to Collectingsf.com this December is a review of R.A. Lafferty’s Past Master (1968):

Science fiction in 1968 was athrob with protest.  There is no sign Lafferty marched to that drummer then nor does this book seem to now.  In the resonance of Past Master his warnings are neither because of nor despite what other people cry.  He speaks in a voice singularly his own.
