Book Overview: Richard Brautigan's wonderfully zany, hilarious episodic novel set amongst the rural waterways of America

Media Reviews
Trout Fishing is a pleasant surprise, though probably not so for aspiring anglers. It's a little as if Hemingway had stopped worrying about his masculinity, being a simple anecdotal ramble around memories and rural America. Streets ahead of Burroughs or Kerouac Observer His style and wit transmit so much energy that energy itself becomes the message. Brautigan...makes all the senses breathe. Only a hedonist could cram so much life onto a single page Newsweek A book infused with a bucolic surrealism and mournful psychedelia 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 Playful and serious, hilarious and melancholy, profound and absurd...how delightfully unique a prose writer Richard Brautigan is Times Literary Supplement He writes with a kind of free-wheeling, zany magic Guardian
