AN UNFORTUNATE

WOMAN

RICHARD BRAUTIGAN was born in 1935 in Tacoma, Washington, and spent most of his early life there before moving to San Francisco in the mid-Fifties when he became involved in the emerging beat scene.

It was during the Sixties that Brautigan became one of the most prominent and prolific writers of the flourishing counter-culture. Out of this period came some of his most famous books, several of which are available as Rebel Inc Classics – Revenge of the Lawn, Sombrero Fallout, Trout Fishing in America and A Confederate General from Big Sur. Translated the world over, these titles helped to establish him as one of the most significant American writers of his generation.

His popularity waned towards the end of the Seventies and he became increasingly disillusioned about his work and his life. He committed suicide in 1984.
