by Geo Alec Effinger ‧ RELEASE DATE: June 9, 1972
The first family of planet Home, founded by a runaway Pittsburgh debtor and a weepy prostitute (Our Father and Our Mother), imported from Earth canasta, bad taste, petty politics, literary allusion, Knightly Quests, and anti-litterbug campaigns. The Quest of eldest son Dore, versus Dr. Dread and his giant radishes, Baron yon Glech, etc., is told by a young brother with frequent interruptions for family doctrinal disputes. Entropy is the operative word.
