accidentally came across a blurb about Richard Brautigan just now, and coincidentally his body was found on this date in 1984. Odd since I've been thinking about his books recently.

His narrative voice was unique and continues to stick with me.

Agreed.
I was on a major RB jag for a couple of years in my 20s. I always felt that his first four novels and first two volumes of poetry were his best.
I, too, went through a Brautigan jag in my 20s. I remember really liking In Watermelon Sugar and The Abortion. I wonder now if I would be horrified by his treatment of the female characters.
