Book description
The stories range from the ironic and poignant title story in which an old man regularly visits a Central Park West medium who "more than once… emerged from her trance to discuss stocks, bonds and dividends" to perhaps the masterpiece of the collection, "Cockadoodledoo", an allegory in the classic fable tradition, a monologue delivered by a rooster who speaks in terms of the Jewish and human experience.
