Richard Brautigan
Richard Brautigan was an influential American novelist and poet, best known for his novel 'Trout Fishing in America,' which became a defining work of the 1960s counterculture. His writing style combined a whimsical and naive approach with a unique and often surreal use of language, capturing the spirit of the era. Despite achieving significant success in the 1960s with over four million copies sold, Brautigan's popularity waned in the United States as literary tastes changed, although he continued to find an audience in Japan and Europe for some time.
