Listening to Richard Brautigan

Genre:

Richard Gary Brautigan was an American novelist, poet, and short story writer. His work often employs black comedy, parody, and satire. Brautigan grew up in the Pacific Northwest and had an unhappy childhood. His parents separated before he was born, and his family, which relocated often, suffered abject poverty for a time. As a teenager, he was committed to the Oregon State Hospital, where he was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia. He spent two months there and received electroshock therapy. Shortly after leaving the hospital, he moved to San Francisco. There he was befriended by writers associated with the San Francisco Renaissance and the Beat Generation, including the poets Robert Duncan, Michael McClure, and Lawrence Ferlinghetti. Brautigan wrote poetry, experimenting with metre and image because, he claimed, he wanted to perfect writing sentences so he could write novels. In 1972, Brautigan withdrew from the public eye and went to live on in a small home in Bolinas, California. In the eight years that followed, he only rarely accepted invitations to lecture and consistently declined to be interviewed. In 1976, he made his first trip to Japan, where he lived off-and-on until his death. Several later authors have cited Brautigan as an influence, including Haruki Murakami, W. P. Kinsella, Christopher Moore, and Sarah Hall. You can listen online to free English audiobook “Listening to Richard Brautigan” by Richard Brautigan on our website.
