Unfortunate Woman

Richard Brautigan


Dark, funny, and exquisitely haunting, the author's final book before his suicide explores the fragile, mysterious shadowland surrounding death. Told with wit and irony, An Unfortunate Woman assumes the form of a peripatetic journal chronicling the protagonist's travels and oblique ruminations on the suicide of an acquaintance, and a close friend's death from cancer.
