From the Back Cover
An Unfortunate Woman was the final book written by cult Californian beat writer Richard Brautigan before his death in 1984 and one that has remain unpublished - until now.
Originally written in the 160 pages of a loose-leaf notebook, it's ostensibly about a man trying to come to terms with the death of a close friend. The narrator does so by embarking on a personal odyssey, that zigzags through time and many landscapes.
An Unfortunate Woman walks a fine line between fiction and memoir, between dark introspection and a lust for life. The last pages, in particular, mark a gut-wrenching, intense, and ultimately tragic exit from fiction that is disturbingly prophetic.
Yet despite the recurring themes of lost love, death, suicide, cancer and graveyards, much of the book is schizophrenically positive. It's vintage Brautigan, albeit wiser and sadder - a masterpiece that will remind readers of his paradoxical genius and his unique prose. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
