Description: How can I describe Trout Fishing in America by Richard Brautigan? Its all about trout fishing and yet not at all. Its a novella made of a series of vignettes coming from a camping trip in Idaho that Brautigan took with his wife and daughter in the summer 1961. The book was published in 1967 and became a bestseller. Its a literary gem that mixes glimpses of the life of the Beat Generation in San Francisco, an homage to an America that the 1960s will leave behind, a playful but effective way to show how our civilization based on mass consumption tamed nature and took over, inserting itself in our minds and in remote areas. Anecdotes reveal a bit of Brautigans childhood. He was dirt poor and fishing and hunting had truly been a means to put food on the table.
