Summary: Kotzwinkle Appears
Comment: The stunning debut of a grand American fabulist. Beyond the wondrous title, opening, & closing tales (generous blanket coverage of prehistoric, African, & Indian elephant/human/machine psychology/relations) this book includes the incredibly perfect "Marie" (the end of exhuberance), the incredibly perfect "The Great Liar" (the root of all fiction), plus several other amazements. Just a couple of clunkers, easily forgiven by grateful gentle readers.

Kotzwinkle's first book, which needs to be in print. Produce of a true deep sweet child/animal mind overlayered with a gravely dangerous literary sophistication. Funny beyond brief description or easy belief. Also remarkably kind, somehow, in spite of its occasionally alarming clarity. Mysteriously hopeful. Peculiar.
