Another story by this author has the narrator sing "Happy Days
This author wrote about Brother Gii in Till the Savior Be Struck Down and On the Great Day, both part of his Flaming Green Tree Trilogy. Another story by this author has the narrator sing "Happy Days Are Here Again," as he wears [?] cellophane goggles after being irradiated by a chrysanthemum. In another, Harelip rescues an American pilot downed in his village. In addition to "The Day He Himself Shall Wipe My Tears Away" and "The Catch," another of his novels features the obese nurse Jin, and the one-eyed narrator who uses his eye socket for introspection. That novel features an innovative use of a cucumber. For ten points, name this author of Silent Cry who drew on his mentally retarded son for Teach us to Outgrow Our Madness.
