Collected in one volume, three counterculture classics that embody the
spirit of the 1960s. Included here are three great works by the
incomparable Richard Brautigan: Trout Fishing in America is by
turns a hilarious, playful, and melancholy novel that wanders from San
Francisco through the country’s rural waterways—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). The Pill Versus the Springhill Mine
Disaster is a collection of nearly one hundred poems, first published
in 1968. And In Watermelon Sugar expresses the mood of a new
generation, revealing death as a place where people travel the length
of their dreams, rejecting violence and hate. During his lifetime,
Look magazine observed, “Brautigan is joining Hesse, Golding,
Salinger, and Vonnegut as a literary magus to the literate young.” A
uniquely imaginative writer of the Beat movement who became an icon of
the hippie era, he is still a favorite of readers today.
