...could starve and fornicate, expose their young for dogs and crows, worship the bones of animals or the brown liquor in a jar. I would have none of it." Nanapush survives, largely because it seems he has been charged by the author to be around in 1924, when a lumber company starts dropping the trees in whose branches his ancestors once stored their dead...
...title: Night of the Living Feelies. Here's this really bewitching post-new wave band, living and working out of Haledon, N.J. (pop. 6,888).
