"A Spell for the Fulfillment of Desire is a postmodern magical papyrus collecting the short fiction of Don Webb from around the globe, and presenting his unique views on sex, language, and fictioneering.
"Drawing from science fiction, linguistics, and the artistic concerns of post-Fluxus avant-garde, A Spell for the Fulfillment of Desire provides us tales which are sexy, funny, and thought-provoking. A cultural artifact from a different star, his work straddles many boundaries." [jacket blurb, US pbk, 1996]
"Don Webb can write straight tales or he can go out to the fringe where the cutting edge hasn't even cut yet and play head-turning games and word games: a full spectrum writer." --Roger Zelazny.
