Richard Brautigan

Opis

The brevity of these 62 ultra-short stories, set in 1960s California, is deceptive. What Brautigan has rejected in terms of length, he compensates for with his offbeat perceptiveness, bitter-sweet ironies and dry, self-deprecating wit.

Recenzje

He was an absolute original who found cause for celebration in the most unlikely places. Guardian
