A Confederate General from Big Sur, Dreaming of Babylon, and the Hawkline Monster

Three novels by the incomparable author Richard Brautigan, including his first published book, A Confederate General from Big Sur. Brautigan's stories are trippy, often funny, sometimes magical, always surreal. Confederate General is the story of a man haunted by his past life, or maybe it's the country's past. Dreaming of Babylon is a comedic detective novel set in San Francisco with a macabre twist. The Hawkline Monster is a parody of both gothic and western novels, set in eastern Oregon.
