misterfix 's review for:
Revenge of the Lawn: Stories 1962-1970
by Richard Brautigan
Richard Brautigan's writing remind me of Bukowski lite. He rambles and repeats many themes, is a bit of a misogynist (of course it was the late 60's), and seems unhappy or perhaps unsatisfied. Of course he committed suicide so that's not done great revelation to say he was unhappy.
Some of these stories made me laugh and some caused me to reflect on circumstances and experiences in my own life. After completing the collection I felt... meh vs how I felt upon completing a Saunders, O'Connor or Carver collection. I would suggest you seek them out rather than read this collection though I do plan to try one of Brautigan's longer pieces as that is what he was most known for.
