Sombrero Fallout by Richard Brautigan

Sombrero Fallout: A Japanese Novel by Richard Brautigan was written in 1975 and published in 1976.  The novel intertwines two plot threads.  A San Francisco writer and humorist dreams about his Japanese ex-lover as he copes with losing her.  Simultaneously, the writer begins a story about a sombrero falling from the sky, although he becomes dissatisfied with it.  The latter thread features Norman Mailer in a cameo appearance. 

The novel was first published by Simon and Schuster in 1976 and reprinted in 1978.  It was also published by Macmillan in 1978, Arena/Arrow in 1987, Rebel Inc. in 1998, Rebel Inc UK in 2001, and Canongate UK in 2012.
