Richard Brautigan: Literature

Literature

"WELL, I've got to get back to work," Fred said. "The plank
press calls. What are you going to do?"

"I think I'll go write," I said. "Work on my book for a while."

"That sounds ambitious," Fred said. "Is the book about
weather like the schoolteacher said?"

"No, it's not about weather."

"Good," Fred said. "I wouldn't want to read a book about
weather."

"Have you ever read a book?" I said.

"No," Fred said. "I haven't but I don't think I'd want to start
by reading one about clouds."
