Found this amazing anthology at the local thrift store today. Thought it was /lit/ worthy.
Also, recent thrift finds general.

>"But here was this hound, product of no trial and error process, lacking lust, unhampered by ancestral fears and instincts. And I wondered if in this hound of the hedges were not to be found the apogee of all that life could ever promise. For here were beauty and gentleness and grace; only ferocity and sex and guile were lacking. And I wondered: 'Is this a hint of the goal of life?'"
>Doctor Lao reached in the cage and patted the hound's head. The beast soughed like the murmur of wind in sycamore leaves.
>"What the hell is the Chink talking about?" asked Quarantine Inspector Number One.

The Circus of Dr. Lao is a relatively well known fantasy book. I don't know why you think it's such an oddity. I might be spoiled from reading too much Thomas Pynchon, but that passage you've shared isn't strange at all. You probably just haven't read a lot of old genre fiction because that shit's filled with stuff like that.

If recent find threads were more about funny stuff like this, I wouldn't consider them cancer. Good job, anon.
