Richard Brautigan's world is one of gentle magic and marvelous laughter, of the incredibly beautiful and the beautifully incredible. Trout Fishing in America is a pseudonym for the miraculous. A journey that begins at the foot of the Benjamin Franklin statue in San Francisco's Washington Square, that wanders through the wonders of America's rural waterways, and that ends, inevitably, with mayonnaise. Funny, wild, and sweet, Trout Fishing in America is an incomparable guidebook to the delights of exploration.

It is 1979, and a man is recalling the events of his 12th summer, when he bought bullets for his gun instead of a hamburger. Through the eyes, ears, and voice of Brautigan's youthful protagonist, the listener is gently led into a small-town tale where the narrator accidentally shoots and kills his best friend. The novel deals with the repercussions of this tragedy and its recurring theme of "what if", which fuels anguish, regret, and self-blame, as well as some darkly comic passages of bittersweet romance and despair.

More than 60 years ago, William S. Burroughs and Jack Kerouac, two novice writers at the dawn of their careers, sat down to write a novel about the summer of 1944, when one of their friends killed another in a moment of brutal and tragic bloodshed. Alternating chapters, they pieced together a hard-boiled tale of bohemian New York during World War II, full of drugs and obsession, art and violence.

The modern audience hasn't had a chance to truly appreciate the unknowing dread that readers would have felt when reading Bram Stoker's original 1897 manuscript. Most modern productions employ campiness or sound effects to try to bring back that gothic tension, but we've tried something different. By returning to Stoker's original storytelling structure - a series of letters and journal entries voiced by Jonathan Harker, Dr. Van Helsing, and other characters - with an all-star cast of narrators, we've sought to recapture its originally intended horror and power.

Story
Richard Brautigan was an original - brilliant and wickedly funny. His books resonated with the 1960s, making him an overnight counterculture hero. 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 protagonist's travels and oblique ruminations on the suicide of one woman and the death of a close friend from cancer.

Story
It is 1979, and a man is recalling the events of his 12th summer, when he bought bullets for his gun instead of a hamburger. Through the eyes, ears, and voice of Brautigan's youthful protagonist, the listener is gently led into a small-town tale where the narrator accidentally shoots and kills his best friend. The novel deals with the repercussions of this tragedy and its recurring theme of "what if", which fuels anguish, regret, and self-blame, as well as some darkly comic passages of bittersweet romance and despair.

Story
Richard Brautigan was an original - brilliant and wickedly funny. His books resonated with the 1960s, making him an overnight counterculture hero. 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 protagonist's travels and oblique ruminations on the suicide of one woman and the death of a close friend from cancer.

Favourite Brautigan so far
Been listening to all Richard Brautigan’s books since they popped up in the Included section and this has been my favourite. I’m finding his style delightful and this one especially beautiful and funny. I really loved The Hawkline Monster and Dreaming Of Babylon too.

I loved it
After hearing a piece about this book on NPR I decided to see if it was on Audible. I loved everything about it. The narrator was great. The story is not packed with action, but the thoughts and reflections of the narrator are funny, relatable, and really help to flesh out a full character.
My only complaint is with the production of this audiobook. For some reason Chapter 24 doesn't include the narrators lines. The reader will say the other characters lines as normal. Then there will be a short pause and he says "I said," as if concluding a comment made by the narrator. This continues for the duration of the chapter, which thankfully is only several minutes long. Very frustrating. I hope someone can correct this as this is a great book, and I wouldn't want someone else to get discouraged because of this production error.

about people and books and stuff.
The title while appropriate is not the entirety of the story. This is about a library. A library whose purpose it is to welcome and store personally written books from regular if somewhat eccentric patrons. The almost Zen like pacing is almost beyond relaxing and comforting.

Waste of time.
This book was featured on was written through the hand of a man who wanted to delight in his sexist chauvinist fantasies and bore us with all the details. I kept listening all the way through to find the hook or the draw or some redeeming quality, but even the ending was flat and disappointing.

Weird & Not Enjoyable
I kept listening waiting to understand the message of the book. The end finally came and I was still waiting for the message - story - something. It never arrived. Total waste of my time!

Worst book ever.
I listened to the whole book wondering if it would improve but the juvenile fascination with Vida's looks and the odd simplistic metaphors got worse and worse. If it's a commentary on 1966, boy am I glad 53 years have passed. No thank you!
