Baby Cat-Face: A Novel (Harvest American Writing)

Rating:
Summary: Dirty Barry Strikes Again!
Review: After reading novels such as "Night People" and "Baby Cat-Face", I am tempted to paraphrase Norman Mailer and claim that Barry Gifford "is the only living American conceivably possessed by genius". Just read it.

Review: Bet you didn't know that The Messiah would never have returned to Earth without Sailor and Lula's help! Well neither did they! (Actually I'm not all that sure of it myself!) S. & L. (See Wild At Heart, etc.) appear in the past - in their youth - as minor characters in the this tale of the totally lovable Baby Cat Face, who, like many of Gifford's other N.O. characters, faces an implossibly complex, alien modern world from an inexplicable wellspring of courage of the spirit. Most fun you've had for a long time!

Review: I have enjoyed all books I have read by Barry Gifford, including Baby Cat Face. He is by far a genius when it comes to character writing, from Sailor and Lula in Wild at Heart to Perdita Durango(My favorite one) to Baby in this novel, every character had a unique and oddball personality all thier own. The story is great, a quick read because you never lose interest. Another great tale of bizarre adventure from Mr. Gifford's colorful imagination.
