Reddit reviews The Best of R. A. Lafferty

Amazon UK and the Orion/Gollancz site have it as an April 4th release. That Amazon US link lists the publisher as Gollancz, so it would seem a bit odd for the publisher's "home" market to not get it first or simultaneously? That said, there are plenty of weirdnesses in regional publishing, so who knows...

FWIW, the bibliography page of the editor's site has it listed as a March release.

This is not really similar, but my favorite author is in the broad sf genre, and a lot of the classic sci-fi writers (Asimov, Clarke, etc) were big fans. He’s kinda hard to categorize because his stories were a mix of science fiction, magical realism, Native American tale tales, and Catholic mysticism. It’s been said that he is the best there ever was at whatever it is that he did. Most of his books are out of print, but there’s a best-of collection coming out later this week: https://www.amazon.com/Best-R-Lafferty/dp/1473213444

I haven’t read Lafferty myself but I need to.

This looks like a hell of an introduction to him:
