An Unfortunate Woman: A Journey by Richard Brautigan (English) Paperback Book

Description: An Unfortunate Woman by Richard Brautigan Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Told in classic Brautigan style, "An Unfortunate Woman" is a dark, funny, and haunting exploration of the authors final months--thinly disguised as the protagonists ruminations on death--which resonates powerfully in the real-life context of the authors own suicide. Publisher Description Richard Brautigans 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 protagonists travels and oblique ruminations on the suicide of one woman, and a close friends 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 It had been completed over a year earlier, but was still unpublished at the time of his death.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 fathers presence page after page, she put the manuscript aside. Years later, having completed a memoir about her fathers life and death, Ianthe Brautigan reread An Unfortunate Woman, and finally, clear-eyed, she saw that it was her fathers work at its best and had to be published. Author Biography Richard Brautigan published 11 novels, a book of short stories, and 8 books of poetry during his short life. He is best known for Troutfishing In America, which has sold over 3 million copies worldwide.
