Collected Short Stories Volume 4 by Edward S. Sorenson is a collection of tales about a hairy man, a girl and her parrot, and the madness of one man. Excerpt: “They are such a slow, ordinary lot about here,” said Brenda Newn, looking up from her novelette, whence she got her inspiration and her ideals. “There is not a man I know who is not commonplace.” “You shouldn't judge men by appearances, nor take your models from stuff like that,” Toby Carson protested, with a disdainful glance at the volume she held in her hand.”
