Trout Fishing In America by Richard Brautigan

TITLE: Trout Fishing In America
AUTHOR: Richard Brautigan
READ: September
THOUGHTS: Could not get into this at all. Read only about half of it and put it down. Something about this book was incredibly unappealing and uninteresting to me; I really enjoyed In Watermelon Sugar a lot more. The qualities of Brautigan's prose that I didn't like in IWS were just more exacerbated here, and along w/ it a focus on abstract mini-narratives about fishing or some other bullshit. Maybe I could get into this at some other point in my life but not now.
