About

RICHARD BRAUTIGAN: STORIES IN HIS STYLE is a site containing short stories by author William Hammett.  They are written with the irony, economy, humor, and satire of Brautigan's own short stories and novels.

The stories on this site are vignettes that are sometimes totally outrageous, while others are simply brief moments of life highly magnified to show how the seemingly insignificant is more important than we realize.

The brevity of the stories would normally qualify them as flash fiction, and perhaps they are, but the term was not in general use when Brautigan was writing from the 1950s to the 1980s.  The stories are just what the name implies: short.  It was Brautigan's gift and genius to encapsulate a moment or an entire theme in just a few short words.

The site will eventually have an eclectic mix of numerous stories using the general style of Richard Brautigan.  Information on Brautigan's life and work may be found in the right sidebar.
