Richard Brautigan produces verbal doodles rather than short stories, and many readers will surely agree with the narrator-author when he says that his mind 'is changing into a cranial junkyard'. What is the explanation for the Brautigan cult?
Perhaps there is a clue right at the beginning of The Tokyo-Montana Express: 'Often, cloaked like trick or treaters in the casual disguises of philosophical gossip, we wonder about the ultimate meaning of a man's life'. He seems to be promising the profundity of a Bertrand Russell translated into the easy-to-read chit-chat of a Nigel Dempster?. Trick? Or treat?
