Obituary
Haven’t given him any thought for years. But back in the 70s he was the mutt’s nuts, with cult books like Even Cowgirls Get the Blues and Another Roadside Attraction. ‘…the perfect accompaniment to acid trips, Grateful Dead shows and weekend yoga retreats…’ as the NYT says. Or you could just read them, like I did.

ECGTB was a song too. https://youtu.be/VozeI06JAV8?si=SmM4AiEhjQx21GOE
Just me then?
Seems like it.
I read a few back in the day. Even Cowgirls get the Blues, Another Roadside Attraction and Jitterbug Perfume are the ones I vaguely remember. His writing is very much of a particular time. See also Richard Brautigan.
