Trout Fishing In America - Tapa blanda

"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." (The 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)

"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)

"Delicate, fantastic and very funny...a highly individual style, a fertile, active inventiveness" (Malcolm Bradbury)

With his revolutionary prose style and magical imagination, Richard Brautigan was one of the major cult authors of the 1960s. Trout Fishing in America is his take on America: a collage of sketches and memories in which Brautigan's favorite pursuit, trout-fishing, recurs, this is a funny, original and miraculous journey through a country - and a mind.
