| | Richard Brautigan |
 | | Richard Brautigan, writer and poet, died in the autumn of 1984, the circumstances of his solitary suicide precluding any more precise dating of his demise. |
 | | The reader sympathetic to Brautigan is left with the impression that this back-handed compliment is an expression of the frustration experienced by literary intellects unable to uncover deep levels of cabalistic symbolism and meaning in Brautigan's works. |
 | | Brautigan's first three novels, written in 1961, 1963, and 1964, all predate the psychedelic watershed year of 1967, the year in which the earliest of the three, Trout Fishing in America, was published in San Francisco. |
