The very best short stories i ever read beside brautigan s tokio montana express. A summary of funny, erotic, sometimes fairytail-like jewels of a mastermind. the stories are as freaky as the author himself. i would go nowhere without this book. i will read it and read it and read....

I had a radio drama show on a public radio station for five years and would vary scripted, acted radio dramas(live w/ music and foley artist or taped with sfx and music) with talented actors reading their favorite stories. I first read Jewel of the Moon ten years ago and received such a response that the local booksellers sold out. Later, as I have been asked to read at various events, I often select JEWEL OF THE MOON and insist that I'm last on the docket, as it has such an impact. Of course, some of this is from the way I've read it but the written artistry is all Kotzwinkle. I've often thought of creating an entire spoken story theatre piece around this particular story and taking it to Edinburgh Fringe Festival, where it would shine. Gonna have to wait for the lottery sometime next year:> BUY THIS BOOK IF YOU CAN FIND IT!!

Nice mix of early? Kotzwinkle. For some reason I didn't realize that it was a collection of short stories but I did enjoy nearly all of them.
