This used to be one of my favorite books. I'd forgotten about it until I heard or saw something on the "tube". Interesting views.

I noted in a recent review of a film documentary about the literary exploits and influences of the "beat" generation of the 1950s on my generation, the "Generation of `68", that we were a less literary generation. That was one of the things that drew me to the beat literary figures like Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, and William Burroughs, among others. Our generation was driven more by the sound of music and fury. Although I believe that statement holds up over time it is not true that there were ... Read More

I'm struck by the strong polarization of reviews for Trout Fishing in America. That tells me right away that there is something worth investigating here.
I have read this book countless times over the past 30 years, and I am still at a loss to explain its charms. Yes, on the surface, it seems like a bunch of disconnected and aimless stories.

I got through about 55 pages or so and could not force myself to go on. I liked the music of the 60's but the quasi-intellectual nonsense and philosophy that came out of that period is, in my opinion, a joke -- not to be taken seriously. This work fits right in with the truckload of other work from that period. The writer ended by blowing his head away with a 44-magnum which I would probably have to do myself if I wrote stuff like this for a living.

I sort of did this backwards. First I read You Can't Catch Death: A Daughter's Memoir by Richard Brautigan's daughter, Ianthe. Then I read the book that put Brautigan on the literary map, Trout Fishing in America. And I didn't get it. Just to make sure I didn't miss anything, I read it again. I still don't get it. And maybe that's the point. The collection of stories, all that in some (sometimes random) way, shape or form, relate to the subject of trout fishing in America is odd to the point of weirdness. ...
