Abstract: en_US The key to my understanding of this book is that it is in the same Jargon series in which one finds Kenneth Patchen's Fables and Other Little Tales (1953). I understand the works in both books about equally--that is, very little. These works are all in prose, and most of them are one page in length. A few of them of which I start to get a sense are Something to Tell People, A Man with a Tree on his Head, Mrs Pinch & a Bad Mister Man, The Fall, Mr and Mrs Mildred Pump, and If I Remember. There seems to be a good deal of interrelation in the works: items and phrases from earlier works recur in later ones. The modality of this work seems to be dream and dreamlike association. I do not get a sense of the relation of the visual art to the literature here. I am also unsure in what sense fable applies to this collection.
