How do you write like that without feeling self-conscious?
Richard Brautigan
Loved his books as a kid.
Parents bought me an anthology one year.
The Time Machine, The Invisible Man etc.
fantastic stuff.
A treat for kids over 10 years old.
These books still frequent my memories.
Wonderful writing.
My favorite is the one about a human species that evolved to live about five days. They lived on a planet with a tiny habitable temperature band due to lack of rotation (hot side, cold side and a thin middle). Go read it but ultimately it’s about survival trauma
Other bangers include “The Big Black and White Game,” a realistic short about segregated baseball in a small town, and “The Flying Machine,” about a startling discovery.
Jumping for Jesus!…crack.
