Title: The Funny Fables of Kenneth Patchen.
Description: 1972? The Funny Fables of Kenneth Patchen. Read by Kenneth Patchen. Palo Alto: Green Tree Records. 101 (20415). Unknown source.

I am happy to find this 33 LPM recording because Patchen is one of the craziest fabulists I have read! After trying his Aflame and Afun of Walking Faces: Fables and Drawings, I wrote “Should we blame Patchen's work on Joyce? On drugs? I see here largely a category-smashing linguistic virtuosity.” The album’s cover here follows the same thread: “To give some notion of the Fables, imagine Mark Twain and Leopardi collaborating on a script for the Marx Brothers to act out the birth of a world – by no means necessarily this one!” The seven fables listed here do not seem to work off of traditionally known fables.
Date: 1972?
