"Heisenbergs"? It's a new verb to me--what does it
mean?
And a question about Willeford--I haven't read Burnt Orange
Heresy
but I have read Shark-Infested Custard. The main characters
are
four guys who can compile a list of why sheep are better than
women
in the time it takes them to crack open a beer. Is this
attitude
peculiar to:
--Willeford?
--bachelor guys in the early seventies?
--these particular characters?
Reading the book was very educational. I remember thinking,
"So
*that's* why there was a women's movement!"
I'm not saying the book was bad or that Willeford is a bad
writer--
on the contrary, the characters were very effective, and
their
self-destruction, or maybe devolution, held my attention like
a
train wreck. I'd just like to know what to expect from
another
one of Willeford's books.
