Trout Fishing in America Paperback - 2010 - 1st Edition

by Richard Brautigan

A single-volume reissue of the contemporary American classic.


Summary

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 Trout Fishing in America became an international bestseller. An indescribable romp, the novel is best summed up in one word: mayonnaise.
 
This new edition includes an introduction by the poet Billy Collins, who first encountered Brautigan’s work as a student in California.

From the publisher

INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER. A book "that has very little to do with trout fishing and a lot to do with the lamenting of a passing pastoral America . . . an instant cult classic" (Financial Times).

Richard Brautigan was a literary idol of the 1960s and '70s who came of age during the heyday of Haight-Ashbury and whose comic genius and iconoclastic vision of American life caught the imaginations of young people everywhere.

Called "the last of the Beats," his early books became required reading for the hip generation, and on its publication Trout Fishing in America became an international bestseller. An indescribable romp, the novel is best summed up in one word: mayonnaise.

This edition features an introduction by poet Billy Collins, who first encountered Brautigan's work as a student in California.

First Edition Identification

Trout Fishing In America was first published in 1967 by Four Seasons Foundation. The first edition is paperback and fragile - prone to splitting, so scarce. Later editions were printed by Dell Publishing (Delta Edition). The cover has a photograph, taken by Erik Weber, of Brautigan with Michaela Le Grand in Washington Square Park. The back has a price stamp of $1.95.
