I got hooked on Brautigan in high school after hearing a girl at a speech tournament in 1976 do an oral interpretation from Trout Fishing in America and she did a superb job but I first heard of Richard Brautigan when my older sister tried describing the story of In Watermelon Sugar to me when I was in junior high in 1969. I have read all of his longer fiction novels, the short story anthology: The Revenge of the Lawn and two of his poetry collections: The Pill Versus the Springhill Mine Disaster and Rommel Drives on Deep Into Egypt. I was devastated when I heard he committed suicide soon after publishing So the Wind Won't Blow it All Away.
I don't see people mention Revenge of the Lawn much, and it is sooooo underappreciated. Some of his best stuff is in there. 1/3, 1/3, 1/3, for instance, is bona fide literary greatness.
The book "The Need for Legalized Abortion" is more relevant now than ever. (Personally, I'd like to have seen the cover for "Moose" in the usual 1960s-style Brautigan covers: a photo of the guy himself, usually with one of his girlfriends. But the fact that this project exists at all is wild!)
This is so wonderful.
Thanks for this! He is my favorite.
My Uncle has a copy of "Please Plant This Book," seeds and all.
Cool
He would've loved this.
This is top cool man!!! I'm also an artist who is a big Brautigan fan and heavily influenced by him!

Amazing
Super cool!
Cool.
What about “Growing Flowers by Candlelight”?
It was one of the first books I made (it just didn't get included in the video) :)

K, so I had this idea for Abortion, but I didn't have a title yet... being original is hard ._.
great content but not so good audio quality :/
