What is Elephant Bangs Train about?

This book contains 16 short stories of which three have to do with elephants. The book title is taken from the eighth story in the collection and is based on a newspaper headline which reads, "Elephant Bangs Train, Reuters News Service, Nairobi, Kenya, May 25, 1969".In the Kotzwinkle version, we are more or less inside the elephant's mind as he attacks and overturns a train in revenge for its having humiliated him on a previous occasion.All these stories are extraordinarily well written and are quite surreal and evocative. Adult content in some stories. Really excellent writing.words : 35016
