How can a man who writes such terrible music, (and lyrics!) write so beautifully? "Armadillos & Old Lace", the title can tell you, weaves triteness into beauty. And often, old phrases reappear and come back better. His secret language bears studying. R.Friedman never loses a theme, however obscure. Character descriptions shine when his people eat, or especially talk. The way he comes back to an obscure thought, or observation is very Zen. I love to eat with his crew, even when I hate what they are eating. "Armadillos" is a terrific mystery, and a true story of his lost pet Ranch in Texas. You will believe in his father, described here, and like him. Kinky, the character, is loyal to his friends. He finds goodness in the people he loves, and the animals that need him. The saddest thing that ever happened to the real Friedman, is teased out over all his novels. And then, possibly, he tells the true story. Big Dick left me touched deeply by what might have been, if not for an accident, or fate, if you believe in that. And, how can you not? We all have some of that, don't we?Read full review
Love Kinky Friedman's humor and twists in story. Always a great read.
