The author Richard Brautigan just came to mind. I read a lot of his works back in my youth but I realised I never hear much about him. I recall enjoying him immensely. What happened?

I've posted it before, but I bumped into it again today and had my usual little chuckle. So I figured I'd share.

It's a (micro-)short story by Richard Brautigan. My favourite example of the form, I think.

Enjoy.

The Scarlatti Tilt
by Richard Brautigan

"It's very hard to live in a studio apartment in San Jose with a man who's learning to play the violin." That's what she told the police when she handed them the empty revolver.

A thread on "If you use a Library, Share", prompted from my treasure chest of memory, Richard Brautigan and specifically 'Abortion: An Historical Romance' centred around a Library where Authors deposited unpublished MS where they were cared for, which became a real Library for the same purpose, http://www.thebrautiganlibrary.org

There are over 300 unpublished, physical MSs you can go visit and now there's a Digital Collection.
