Richard Gary Brautigan (1935-1984) was an American writer who used humor and emotion to propel a unique vision of hope and imagination throughout his body of work which includes ten books of poetry, ten novels, one collection of short stories, and miscellaneous non-fiction pieces. He is thought to be the writer who best captured the cultural electricity of the San Francisco counterculture period, late 1960s-early 1970s.
