![]() ![]() Author: Brautigan Richard Publisher: Griffin Richard Brautigan's last novel, published in the U.S. for the first time Richard Brautigan was an original--brilliant and wickedly funny, his books resonated with the sixties, making him an overnight counterculture hero. Taken in its entirety, his body of work reveals an artistry that outreaches the literary fads that so quickly swept him up. Dark, funny, and exquisitely haunting, his final book-length fiction explores the fragile, mysterious shadowland surrounding death. Told with classic Brautigan wit, poetic style, and mordant irony, An Unfortunate Woman assumes the form of a peripatetic journal chronicling the protagonist's travels and oblique ruminations on the suicide of one woman, and a close friend's death from cancer. After Richard Brautigan committed suicide, his only child, Ianthe Brautigan, found among his possessions the manuscript of An Unfortunate Woman. It had been completed over a year earlier, but was still unpublished at the time of his death. Finding it was too painful to face her father's presence page after page, she put the manuscript aside. Years later, having completed a memoir about her father's life and death, Ianthe Brautigan reread An Unfortunate Woman, and finally, clear-eyed, she saw that it was her father's work at its best and had to be published. € 15,70

![]() ![]() Author: Brautigan Richard, Webster Edna (EDT) Publisher: Lightning Source Inc On the eve of his departure from Eugene, Oregon, to San Francisco and worldly success, a twenty-one-year-old unpublished writer named Richard Brautigan gave these funny, buoyant stories and poems as a gift to Edna Webster, the beloved mother of both his best friend and his first "real" girlfriend. "When I am rich and famous, Edna," he told her, "this will be your social security.' The stories and poems show Brautigan as hopelessly lovestruck, cheerily goofy, and at his most disarmingly innocent. We see not only a young man and young artist about to bloom, but also the whole literary sensibility of the 1960s counterculture about to spread its wings and fly. € 10,40

![]() ![]() Author: Brautigan Richard Publisher: Marcos y Marcos Potreste leggere "Pesca alla trota in America" in un giorno di pioggia, a seimila miglia di distanza dalla statua di Benjamin Franklin, in Washington Square, a San Francisco, e averne una nostalgia infinita. Potreste acquistare qualche metro di torrente in saldo e pescare a casa vostra: trote iridee, temoli, perfino trote gobbe. Mentre quelli della sesta classe si divertono a scrivere Pesca alla trota in America sulla schiena dei primini, potreste risalire un torrente in California o nell'Idaho, e incontrare Pesca alla trota in America che chiacchiera con uno scrittore, e sorride a sua figlia che gli infila sassolini colorati in tasca. "Pesca alla trota in America" è un alberghetto gestito da cinesi piuttosto ambiziosi, vicino all'incrocio fra la Broadway e la Columbus: non fate caso se l'ingresso sa di lisoform e non fate caso alla tappezzeria; se anche la cambiano in continuazione, non si distingue la nuova dalla vecchia. Non fatevi scoraggiare dal diario di Alonso Hagen, solo perché si capisce che in centosessanta uscite a pesca ha perso più di duemila trote: non è quello il punto. Opera manifesto della controcultura dei tardi anni Sessanta, "Pesca alla trota" è un puzzle di racconti e punti di vista. Ma rappresenta anche una specie di vivisezione di molti luoghi comuni dell'immaginario popolare americano. Brautigan sceglie di partire dalla pesca, poggiando su una tradizione consolidata anche nella narrativa. Il torrente di Brautigan si trasforma in una specie di oggetto di seconda mano. € 12,40
