Just curious - are there any fans of Robert Rankin (www.sproutlore.com) here?

Yes!
Rankin is a true genius who should, were the world a fair place, have gotten a nobel prize ages ago. Or a Hugo. Or something.
His verbal trickery is nothing short of genius. I especially love his way of shocking the reader with perfectly timed () uses of certain four letter words (that is, the words themselves are not shocking…the delivery is just so…perfect)
() You know how they say that the key to comedy (usually spoken) is timing? Well, Rankin has mastered comic timing on paper.
