About This Item
Boston:: Mariner Books,, 1999.. Advance Uncorrected Proof. A Fine unread copy in paper wraps. On the eve of his departure from Eugene, Oregon, to San Francisco and worldly success, a twenty-one-year-old unpublished writer named Richard Brautigan gave these funny, buoyant stories and poems as a gift to Edna Webster, the beloved mother of both his best friend and his first "real" girlfriend. "When I am rich and famous, Edna," he told her, "this will be your social security.' The stories and poems show Brautigan as hopelessly lovestruck, cheerily goofy, and at his most disarmingly innocent. We see not only a young man and young artist about to bloom, but also the whole literary sensibility of the 1960s counterculture about to spread its wings and fly.The Edna Webster Collection comes with a copy of the publisher's advance sampler featuring a selection of upcoming works by five writers being published by Mariner Books including Brautigan. The sampler features four Brautigan poems.
