when wind blows it away

Posted on 10:17 by clark


I just finished reading SO THE WIND 
WON’T BLOW IT ALL AWAY, one of 
my favorite Richard Brautigan books. 
I’m amazed how he plays with time in 
this and also his last novel, AN 
UNFORTUNATE WOMAN. It would 
be interesting to draw a timeline of those 
stories. Speaking of time, this is the 
date due card from SO THE WIND…
Libraries don’t often use these stamps 
anymore (a lot of libraries are growing
more and more against paper) 
but I love seeing these cards.



























I’ve been reading Carl Sandburg’s 
ROOTABAGA STORIES.
This page from Sandburg almost 
skips ahead in time to echo 
Brautigan’s title.
