Richard Brautigan was a literary idol of the 1960s and 1970s whose comic genius and iconoclastic vision of American life caught the imagination of young people everywhere. He came of age during the Haight-Ashbury period and has been called “the last of the Beats.” His early books became required reading for the hip generation, and on its publication <I>Trout Fishing in America</I> became an international bestseller. An indescribable romp, the novel is best summed up in one word: mayonnaise.<BR> <BR>This new edition includes an introduction by the poet Billy Collins, who first encountered Brautigan’s work as a student in California.
