Rommel Drives On Deep Into Egypt Paperback – January 1, 1970

by Richard Brautigan (Author)

See all formats and editions

First published in 1970, ROMMEL DRIVES ON DEEP INTO EGYPT is a collection of eighty-five primitive poems full of the innovation, wit, and anti-intellectualism that became a signature that only Brautigan could achieve. Often imitated, never duplicated.



"Have You Ever Had a Witch Bloom like a Highway"

Have you ever had a witch bloom like a highway

on your mouth? and turn your breathing to her

fancy? like a little car with blue headlights

passing forever in a dream?


Poetry.

I read this when it first came out. I gave my copy to a friend and didn't get it back. That was over thirty years ago. It feels good to read it again.

Great book! Richard Brautigan's poems are short, yet filled with wisdom and delight. "Rommel Drives on Deep into Egypt" is one of my favorites.

Fast shipping and great condition for age! I've been busy with various things happening at home, but I have read part of it. It's the same zaniness we know from other Brautigan works!

内容（原文）は星5つなのだが、装丁と和訳に意図の不明なところが多過ぎて、物としてのこの本自体はあまり好きになれない。まず和訳を読んで一体何のことを言っているのか良く分からずに、次に原文を読んでやっと状況を了解したということが多々あった。何を目指して出版社がこういう形でこの本を出版したのかが良く分からない。非常にもったいないと思う。
