One day I was asked to call Brautigan to tell him there was an egregious typo on the dust jacket of his new book. This is the kind of phone call that creates a pit in the stomach of a young editor, especially one who was inspired to pursue publishing in the first place because of authors like Brautigan and Vonnegut (also published by Dell/Delacorte). So Brautigan picks up the phone, I tell him the bad news, and he replies that if there’s no mistake in a book, then there is no escape hatch for the demons.

I like to hear that. (I have to admit, though, I think he’s slightly of a higher class than Vonnegut and Robbins. After all, he wrote “1/3, 1/3, 1/3,” quite possibly the most perfect short story in English.

I still can see it so vividly.

the love letter to enda or something like that is a book of poems, his early stuff, you should most definitely find. me, I like the gothic western one, hawkline monster, and then some of his japanese women ones (I doubt the std/aids angle).

I’m glad you were there to chat with her while I had to “work.” Do you remember any other funny things she said?
