@AnaKrivolapova @conorhultman Possibly his best work of fiction.

Been thinking about this one constantly: my favorite Brautigan I don't own because it's rare and haven't reread because it's painful. He is less whimsical in this pseudoautobiographical novel about injuring his friend as a child, revealing the deluge of guilt and sorrow he teased in Dreaming of Babylon, Loading Mercury with a Pitchfork, and Watermelon Sugar. You also see shades of agoraphobia like in The Abortion. I wish I could read it without crying.
