Richard Brautigan was an original brilliant and wickedly funny and his books resonated with the sixties, making him an overnight counterculture hero. Taken in its entirety, his body of work reveals an artistry that outreaches the literary fads that so quickly swept him up.

Dark, humorous, and exquisitely haunting, his final book of fiction explores the fragile, mysterious shadowland surrounding death. Told with classic Brautigan wit, poetic style and mordant irony, An Unfortunate Woman assumes the form of a traveler's journal, chronicling the protagonist's journey and his oblique ruminations on the suicide of one woan and the death from cancer of another, a close friend.
