Oh, yes. I've read all of Franklin. This is probably his most perverse and demented of all his books. CLCL this is not. Smonk is a malicious psychopathic dwarf who comes home to Old Texas, Alabama, to reap murder, mayhem, and general havoc. Ultimate case of little man syndrome. *grin* Have fun!

I just bought it too! I'm reading Infinite Jest right now, so that will take me a good while to read, but I'll probably read Smonk after that and we can talk about it!
Smonk and Infinite Jest, hmm, interesting combo.
