The Tokyo-Montana Express

For the last years of his life, Richard Brautigan lived between a small ranch in Montana and Tokyo, and on his metaphorical railroad between the two points—131 stops. At each stop, the reader finds a different story—absurd or charming, tragic or surrealistic, piercingly sad or satirical in a Brautigan way. Each one is unlike the others, each takes its own place along the train’s route.
