From the first page: "In general, people who write or talk about Brautigan tend to be either snidley patronizing or vacuously adoring. Most of his reviewers damn him with the faint praise of words like 'sweet' and 'gentle'; many of the students I've discussed Bratuigan with say he's groovy and let it go at that. I think both of these responses are unfair to Brautigan's work. I'll try to take a good steady look at Brautigan's books, without either condescension or adulation, and to show what he's trying to say and how he's trying to say it" - from Richard Brautigan, by Terence Malley.
Richard Brautigan is the second volume in an exciting series of critical appreciations called WRITERS FOR THE SEVENTIES.
