| - | The poet [[Michael McClure]] said of Brautigan's work, "There's nothing resembling it in American writing. It's as West Coast as a [[Douglas fir]], but more broadly it's peculiarly American and [[Rube Goldberg]]ian. This writing goes beyond [[eccentricity]] and into [[vision]] at times, and at others it is personal symptomology. It's not just a string of books ranging from [[wit]]ty and [[sensual]] to [[decadent]] and misbegotten, it's a rippling, flashing river for the critic and reader trout-fishers and gold-panners of the present and future to explore." | + | '''Richard Gary Brautigan''' (January 30, 1935 – ca.<!-- The abbreviation ca. 'approximately' is properly used only in citing a date which is not known exactly, and then usually only if the date is given in parentheses: --> September 14, 1984) was an American novelist, poet, and short story writer. His work often employs [[black comedy]], [[parody]], and [[satire]]. He is best known for his 1967 novel ''[[Trout Fishing in America]]''. |
