From the editor

When I first corresponded with Bob ten years ago, when I was assembling JEF 23, the famous tribute volume to our great mutual friend, the late Raymond Federman, Bob's contribution to that volume really impressed me. I had hoped to see more of his work some day, and now I have the great honor of publishing it! It resonates with subtle humor and acute observations. Raymond would have been very proud. But although this has the touch of Federman to it, it is not Federman. It is uniquely Casella, and it is a delight to encounter Bob's unique sensibilities, wit and charm.
