Memories ofPeople's Poet
A quirky and enjoyable collection of poems Recurrent themes in the book include love, sex, loss, and loneliness. Incorporated throughout are an intriguing mix of pop and "high" culture references: Jefferson Airplane, Ophelia, the New York Yankees, John Donne, etc. The book often has an earthy flavor; Brautigan writes about such topics as his own penis or the smell of a fart. Some particularly memorable poems include the following: "All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace," a science fiction vision of a "cybernetic meadow"; the open-ended "Karma Repair Kit: Items 1-4"; "Discovery," a joyful poem about sexual intimacy; the surreal "The Pumpkin Tide"; the funny, haiku-like "November 3"; and "A Good-Talking Candle," which invites the reader into an altered state of perception. Although most of the poems are very short, there is one longer poem: the 9-part, 9-page "the Galilee Hitch-hiker," which chronicles the surreal adventures of Baudelaire (among other experiences, he opens an unconventional hamburger stand in San Francisco). If you only know Brautigan from his weird and wonderful novels, I recommend you read this remarkable collection of poems.

The Brautigan touch and the private eye novel The title refers to C's tendency to picture himself in a land of imagination that takes him far away from the everyday world into a place that rewards him with a beauteous dame (natch) and all kinds of pleasures and stuff.With chapter titles like "Mustard", "A Babylonian Sand Watch", and "Barcelona", it's not hard to tell C. loves fantasizing a lot, as well as moving back and forth between that and the nitty gritty stuff of life. Of course every chapter is 2 or 3 pages; the largest is 6.Here's a great little excerpt: "'You've broken your mother's heart', she'd always say then and I'd answer, 'Don't say that, Mom, just because I'm a private detective. I still love you.'" C. has to solve a murder (of course; otherwise this wouldn't be a private eye novel) and the things that happen to him are funny and ridiculous and strange and tense and just plain dumb sometimes.But that's life, ain't it?He goes about his business like a goofball sometimes and sometimes he actually has enough smarts to put two and two together--when he's not off in Babylon somewhere.... You don't read Brautigan for a linear plot and non-whimsical writing.You don't read him if you want characters who take themselves seriously embedded in worlds of text whose author also takes himself seriously.You read Brautigan 'cause you know he's gotta sense of humor nobody else ever did, does, or will have.You read him 'cause he's a guy whose heart is a whole lot bigger than a breadbox and who thinks with it really well.You read him because he knows how to tell a story that makes you laugh and sigh a little and maybe understand a little better how to be in this world. Read him.

Editorial Review Amazon.com Review I loved Brautigan's writing as ateenager, hated his writing when I was a snobby East coast academic--but findthat I am once again attracted to his work. Perhapsthis change of opinion occurred because I have spent so much time in his stomping grounds in thePacific Northwest in the past years, or perhaps my transient dislike for hiswriting arose out of his ability to delicately punch holes in pompouspretense. At any rate, if you haven't read Brautigan yet, you mightgive him a try--and if you are already a fan of his, you should rejoice at these recent reissues of all his major works. Customer Reviews (18)
