THE BRAUTIGAN BOOK CLUB (BBC)

Launching 25th Jan 2012 with an extraordinary event...

Line up to be announced.

“Brautigan is good for you”

- Bruce Cook, The National Observer

Richard Brautigan (1935-1984) is an American writer. His easy-to-read yet idiosyncratic prose style is seen as the best characterisation of the cultural electricity prevalent in San Francisco during the last years of the Beat Generation and the emergence of the counterculture movement.

We like Richard Brautigan.

We’d like more people to read his work.

We’d like to platform and share anything you create, having been inspired by Brautigan or Brautigan Book Club activities.
