Biography

Richard Gary Brautigan was born in Tacoma, Washington to Bernard Frederick Brautigan Jr. (July 29, 1908 - May 27, 1994) a factory worker, laborer, and World War II veteran and Lulu Mary Keho "Mary Lou" Brautigan (April 7, 1911 - January 31, 1998) who was a waitress. Brautigan was baptized as a Roman Catholic and was raised in the Pacific northwest and lived with his mother, step-fathers and siblings. He had two half-sisters named Barbara Titland (born May 1, 1939) and Sandra Jean Porterfield (born April 1, 1945) and a half-brother named William David Folston Jr, born on December 19, 1950. His parents were divorced before he was born and his mother Mary Lou would remarry three times. Brautigan would never meet his biological father and would suffer physical abuse at the hands of his stepfathers, whom he always witnessed abusing his mother. Brautigan was also abused by his alcoholic mother. Many of Brautigan's childhood experiences were included in the poems and novels that he wrote from as early as the age of 13 through his high school years. Brautigan grew up in poverty and moved to various homes in the Pacific Northwest before settling in Eugene, Oregon in 1944. He lived with his stepfather Robert Porterfield for three years after Brautigan's mother and Porterfield separated, but eventually reunited with his mother and half-sisters when he was 14. Brautigan attended Lincoln Elementary School, and South Eugene High School and attended Woodrow Wilson High School for a year. On December 19, 1952, Brautigan's first poem The Light was published in the Eugene High School Newspaper. Brautigan graduated from South Eugene High School on June 9, 1953. Following graduation, he moved in with his best friend Peter Webster, whose mother became Brautigan's surrogate mother. According to several accounts, Brautigan stayed with Webster for about a year before leaving for San Francisco for the first time in August of 1954, returning to Oregon several times, apparently for lack of money.^[1] Nickname: Location of Tacoma in Pierce County and Washington State Coordinates: , Country State County Pierce Government  - Mayor Bill Baarsma (D) Area  - City  62. ... is the 210th day of the year (211th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

On February 19, 1956, Brautigan was released from the Oregon State Hospital and left for San Francisco, where he would spend most of the rest of his life (save for periods of time spent in Tokyo and Montana.)^[1] In San Francisco, Brautigan met writers like Michael McClure, Jack Spicer, and Allen Ginsberg.

Brautigan's first published "book" was The Return of the Rivers (1958), a single poem, followed by two collections of poetry: The Galilee Hitch-Hiker (1958), and Lay the Marble Tea (1959). During the 1960s Brautigan became involved in the burgeoning San Francisco counterculture scene, often appearing as a performance-poet at concerts and participating in the various activities of The Diggers.

In the summer of 1961, Brautigan went camping with his wife and his daughter in the Idaho Stanley Basin. While camping he completed the novels A Confederate General From Big Sur and Trout Fishing in America. A Confederate General from Big Sur was his first published novel and met with little critical or commercial success. But when his novel Trout Fishing in America was published in 1967, Brautigan was catapulted to international fame and labeled by literary critics as the writer most representative of the emerging countercultural youth-movement of the late 1960s, even though he was said to be contemptuous of hippies (as noted in Lawrence Wright's article in the April 11, 1985 issue of Rolling Stone.)^[2] Trout Fishing in America (ISBN 0395500761) is a book written by Richard Brautigan in 1967. ...

Brautigan published four collections of poetry as well as another novel, In Watermelon Sugar (1968) during the decade of the sixties. Also, in the spring of 1967, Brautigan was Poet-in-Residence at the California Institute of Technology. One Brautigan novel The God of The Martians remains unpublished. The 600 page, 20 chapter manuscript was sent to at least two editors but was rejected by both. A copy of the manuscript was discovered with the papers of the last of these editors, Harry Hooton.

During the 1970s Brautigan experimented with different literary genres, publishing several novels throughout the decade and a collection of short stories called Revenge of the Lawn in 1971. "When the 1960s ended, he was the baby thrown out with the bath water," said his friend and fellow writer, Tom McGuane. "He was a gentle, troubled, deeply odd guy." Generally dismissed by literary critics and increasingly abandoned by his readers, Brautigan's popularity waned throughout the late 1970s and into the 1980s. His work remained popular in Europe, however, as well as in Japan, and Brautigan visited there several times.^[3] To his critics, Brautigan was willfully naive. Lawrence Ferlinghetti said of him, "As an editor I was always waiting for Richard to grow up as a writer. It seems to me he was essentially a naïf, and I don't think he cultivated that childishness, I think it came naturally. It was like he was much more in tune with the trout in America than with people."^[4] The 1970s decade refers to the years from 1970 to 1979, also called The Seventies. ...

Listening to Richard Brautigan

From late 1968 to February 1969, Brautigan recorded a spoken-word album for The Beatles' short-lived record-label, Zapple. The label was shut down by Allen Klein before the recording could be released, but it was eventually released in 1970 on Harvest Records as Listening to Richard Brautigan.^[5] Brautigan's writings are characterized by a remarkable and humorous imagination. The permeation of inventive metaphors lent even his prose-works the feeling of poetry. Evident also are themes of Zen Buddhism like the duality of the past and the future and the impermanence of the present. Zen Buddhism and elements of the Japanese culture can be found in his novel Sombrero Fallout: A Japanese Novel. Image File history File links Listening_to_Richard_Brautigan. ...

In 1999, fifteen years after Brautigan's death, his childhood friend Peter Webster published The Edna Webster Collection of Undiscovered Writings which were stories and poems Brautigan had given to his surrogate mother Edna Webster to get published or to keep. This includes poems from Brautigan's teenage years and three short stories Brautigan had written as teenager. The short stories were a visit from Jake, Would you like to saddle up a couple of goldfish and swim to Alaska?, and Desire in a Bowl of Potatoes. These stories were originally published by themselves in 1995 and 1996 but were later added to The Edna Webster Collection of Undiscovered Writings in 1999.
