Overview

Three counterculture classics by Richard Brautigan, literary icon of the 1960s, together in a single volume, including the unforgettable Trout Fishing in America.

In Watermelon Sugar expresses the mood of a new generation, revealing death as a place where people travel the length of their dreams, rejecting violence and hate. The Pill Versus the Springhill Mine Disaster is a collection of nearly one hundred poems, first published in 1968.
