Unconventional in its structure and scope, this memoir makes for some engaging reading. Eisley’s storied life blends well with observations regarding the peculiarities of humanity. As the title indicates there are bizarre happenings: Eisley weaves his vivid imaginings and memories together to make a tapestry that one should savor. Pack rats who make off with his glasses, an unknown entity with whom he converses, an abandoned farmhouse where as a child he played with some discovered dice. Weird events rooted in a compelling narrative. Highly recommended.
