From Paul O'Connell :

This year marks the 25th anniversary of the death of Richard Brautigan, one of my favourite writers. To mark the occasion Torpedo fiction quarterly's latest offering is a special Brautigan themed issue.

Co-edited, and with a foreword by Brautigan's daughter, Ianthe Brautigan, the special issue features Brautigan inspired fiction from 30 writers, a section of Richard Brautigan's own writing in the middle plus a specially designed envelope containing 8 full colour A5 double-sided prints featuring artwork based on his stories. One of which is a comic strip by myself, using Richard Brautigan's text, called 'The Library'.

In Brautigan's novel 'The Abortion: A Historical Romance 1966', the narrator is the sole employee of a library that collects unpublished and unpublishable books*. It's sole criteria is that books must be delivered in person. A chapter in the novel which I adapted into comic strip form describes a typical day in the life of the library and the many kinds of characters who stop by to leave their charming, idiosyncratic and bizarre manuscripts and books.

*The idea for such a library proved so popular that it inspired more than a couple of actual real life libraries based upon the same principle

It's a real privilege to be included in this special.
