Richard Brautigan citáty

Richard Gary Brautigan bol americký spisovateľ, ktorý býva zaraďovaný buď do postmoderny alebo k beatnikom.

V mladosti mu diagnostikovali paranoidnú schizofréniu a prešiel si šokovú terapiu, čo ho veľmi ovplyvnilo. V začiatkoch beat generation žil v San Franciscu a napriek tomu, že s týmto hnutím úzko spolupracoval, nikdy sa k nemu neprihlásil.

Brautigan rozdával svoje básne na ulici, čo bolo pre beat generation relatívne obvyklé, ale odmietal sa zúčastňovať verejných čítaní . Svoje básne rozdával vytlačené na balíčkoch so semenami rastlín. Každý človek dostal osem balíčkov semien na ktorých boli vytlačené básne. Zaujímavosťou je, že neotvorené balíčky sú medzi zberateľmi veľmi cenené a prakticky je nemožné si ich zohnať.

Vo svojich dielach tak na beatnikov zdanlivo nadväzoval, no svojou snovou atmosférou vždy spájal nespojiteľné a lámaním jazyka vytváral nový obraz literárnej skutočnosti.

V roku 1957 sa oženil a v roku 1970 sa rozviedol, čo zhoršilo jeho depresie. Roku 1972 sa presťahoval z Montany do Pine Creek a od tej doby neposkytol žiadny rozhovor a odmietal účasť na všetkých oficiálnych akciách.

V roku 1984 sa zastrelil. Wikipedia

“I like to think
(it has to be!)
of a cybernetic ecology
where we are free of our labors
and joined back to nature,
returned to our mammal
brothers and sisters,
and all watched over
by machines of loving grace.”

and eat it.

and sleep there.

until you arrive at the silence of yourself,
and listen to it.

“Hinged to forgetfulness like a door,
she slowly closed out of sight,
and she was the woman I loved,
but too many times she slept like
a mechanical deer in my caresses,
and I ached in the metal silence
of her dreams.”

“the sweet juices of your mouth
are like castles bathed in honey.
i've never had it done so gently before.
you have put a circle of castles
around my penis and you swirl them
like sunlight on the wings of birds.”

“The Beautiful Poem"

I go to bed in Los Angeles thinking
about you.

Pissing a few moments ago
I looked down at my penis
affectionately.

Knowing it has been inside
you twice today makes me
feel beautiful.”
