About This Item
San Francisco: Four Seasons Foundation, 1967. First Edition. Near Fine. First edition, first printing, issued as "Writing 14" and preceding later editions published by Delta. Signed by Richard Brautigan on the first blank page. Bound in publisher's printed wraps. Near Fine with light shelf wear, light soiling to bottom textblock edge near spine. A fantastic copy of a fragile book prone to splitting--this copy shows just the faintest issue with the glue to the preliminary pages. The author's scarce breakthrough novel, and the work he is best-known for. Uncommon as a first edition, and even more so signed.
Synopsis
Trout Fishing in America is a novella written by Richard Brautigan and published in 1967. It is technically Brautigan's first novel; he wrote it in 1961 before A Confederate General From Big Sur which was published first. Trout Fishing In America is an abstract book without a clear central storyline. Instead, the book contains a series of anecdotes broken into chapters, with the same characters often reappearing from story to story.
