This is a slice of hip L.A. life with a cast of characters thus: Weetzie Bat, My Secret Agent Lover Man, Duck, Dirk, Cherokee, Witchy Baby - a collection of caricatures or occult figures? It's difficult to decide. The book is an acquired taste and the reaction of the reader is likely to be strong. I feel that cult status is sought here, but the cynical reader might accuse Block of parody. I'm very curious to see what my 4th and 5th year pupils will make of this book - 88 pages of confusion or amusement?
