"Howard Waldrop - Occam's Ducks" - читать интересную книгу автора (Waldrop Howard)

The names of the victims were unknown to Mantan, but the attacker’s name
was Meister.
Twenty years later, while he was filming Mr. Pilgrim Progresses, a lady
brought him a War Bond certificate, and a lobby card for him to autograph.
The card was from The Medicine Cabinet of Dr. Killpatient, Breezy Laff Riot
There were no credits on it, but there on the card were Mantan, Pauline Christian,
and Lorenzo Fairweather, and behind them the giant Lafayette Monroe in his
medicine cabinet.
Mantan signed it with a great flourish with one of those huge pencils you get at
county fairs when you knock down the Arkansas kitty.
He had never seen the film, never knew till now that it had been released.
As the lady walked away, he wondered if the film had been any good at all.
For Mr. Moreland, and for Icky Twerp.
