Richard Brautigan (Critical Survey of Long Fiction)
Other Literary Forms
Richard Brautigan began his literary career as a poet. “I wrote poetry for seven years,” he noted, “to learn how to write a sentence.” Though a poet for many years, Brautigan maintained that his ambition was to write novels: “I figured I couldn’t write a novel until I could write a sentence.” Although most of Brautigan’s later work was in novel form, he continued to publish poetry and also produced a collection of short stories (Revenge of the Lawn: Stories 1962- 1970, 1971).
