    Trout Fishing in America
    
    Trout Fishing in America (1967) is a novella written by Richard Brautigan. It consists of short pieces linked by recurring characters. Technically it is Brautigan's first novel, as he completed it in 1961. But his book A Confederate General from Big Sur was published first. Overview Trout Fishing In America is an abstract book without a clear central storyline. Instead, the book contains a series of anecdotes broken into chapters, with the same characters often reappearing from story to story. The settings of most of the chapters occur in three locales: Brautigan's childhood in the Pacific Northwest of the U.S.; his day-to-day adult life in San Francisco; and a camping trip in Idaho with his wife and infant daughter during the summer of 1961. Most of the chapters were written during this trip. An excerpt appeared as the lead piece in the Evergreen Review, Volume 7, No. 31 (Oct.–Nov. 1963). The phrase "Trout Fishing in America" is used in various ways: it is the title of the book, a character, a hotel, the act of fishing itself, a modifier (one character is named "Trout Fishing in America Shorty"...

  @lain @ned That was the first one of his I read ages ago. I don't even know how to describe it, his books feel like reading a schizo's timeline
