Adventures of Lance the Lizard

"The bald fact of the matter is that there are few writers who can pull off utter confusion the way Cross can. And yet we are given to understand that Cross is an upright, reasonable sort, who, judging from the stories that have appeared under his name, turns onto writing the way a flower child turns onto psychedelics. For that matter few writers would dare commit a story like this to paper—who but Cross would have guessed that the adventures of a star-crossed lizard would make such exciting reading?

Sometimes the best fiction is inexplicable. We think you’ll find “The Adventures of Lance the Lizard” inexplicably joyful. —And that is a recommendation we seldom make."
