Today would have been Richard’s 77th birthday. We miss you & your voice.
How will you remember him today? You can read some of the samples we have on the site or check out these videos:
List to his daughter Ianthe, read One Afternoon in 1939
or listen to Richard read All Watched over by Machines of Loving Grace
Personally, I think I’ll be reading a few chapters of In Watermelon Sugar before bedtime.

Once again, Noel Fielding has helped spread the word of Brautigan. In an interview about his new show Luxury Comedy, he’s asked where he gets his inspiration from.
Seems he likes the zoo, the woods, The Jungle Book, Dali, freaky films and…
A writer called Richard Brautigan – he’s a lesser-known beat writer, he wrote a book called Trout Fishing In America. I really like his stuff.
Thanks for helping to spread the word Noel!!!

jubilee hitchhiker – the life & times of richard brautigan
Posted by jen under dedications, read
No Comments
UPDATE: the book release has been pushed back til April.
there’s a new book about Brautigan on its way!
Jubille Hitchhiker is due in January 2012 and aims to ‘connect the Brautigan known to his fans with the man who ended his life so abruptly in 1984 while revealing the close ties between his writing and the actual events of his life. Part history, part biography, and part memoir this etches the portrait of a man destroyed by his genius’.
It’s weighing in at a massive 896 pages too!
I certainly hope they come out with a e-book/kindle version.

There is Darkness on your Lantern

Brautigan Book Club in London
Posted by jen under by fans, europe, event

If you’re in London, you absolutely MUST check out the new Brautigan Book Club being put together by saltpeter productions.
The idea is to have a face-to-face meeting each month, discuss a Brautigan & take it another (or 3) level by discussing how it relates to modern day or posting a ‘creative response’ to the Brautigan work (which will later be posted to their blog). They’re also looking to host salons or other events which include live music, readings, performances & indulgent 60′s revivalism.
The book club sessions begin January 25th 2012 in London. Sign up to their mailing list for updates & search #brautiganbookclub hashtag on twitter.
For those of you (like me!) who are not in London, they’re looking at ways for us to participate too! I can’t wait!
