![Cover of Howard Who? by Howard Waldrop, published 2006-07-15 by Small Beer Press, a 256-page paperback](./cover-8294517.jpeg)

My first exposure to Waldrop, via a Kelly Link interview and small beer press opens with a bang, "The Ugly Chickens," but I think my favorite was "Man-Mountain Gentian" about the Waldrop-invented world of profeesional zen-sumo  wrestling. I immediately started to seek out the rest of his work.
