Discuss the humour in the fortune teller poem

THE FORTUNE TELLER is an absorbing, sometime startling mixture of realism and the supernatural, and Fay Morgan is a fascinating fictional creation. The novel’s best moments are the result of Fay’s matter-of-fact approach to her remarkable psychic gifts--which the book accepts as a given--an approach which makes her use of tarot cards and palm reading seem a natural and understandable part of the real world. Conversely, the novel’s weakest aspects are its occasional lapses in believable human behavior--for example, the hunted kidnapper who nevertheless shows up as scheduled at an arm wrestling competition.
Overall, however, THE FORTUNE TELLER is a compelling book. Beautifully written and peopled with sharply drawn characters, this strange and thought-provoking tale establishes Norman as a presence to be reckoned with in fiction as well as drama.
