The three were duck hunting in the Fern Ridge wetlands, near Eugene, Oregon. Brautigan was separated from the other two. Brautigan fired at a duck and a pellet from his shot struck Danny in the ear, injuring him only slightly. About the same time, Donald Husband, 14-year-old son of a prominent Eugene attorney, was shot and killed in a hunting accident off Bailey Hill Road. Brautigan's incident and that involving Husband became one in this novel (Bob Keefer and Quail Dawning 2H)."http://www.brautigan.net/wind.html

Don't waste your money on *An Unfortunate Woman*. It just isn't a
good book. Perhaps Brautigan was so disappointed in it, that it
tipped him over the edge. It is the only one of his books that is
crappy.

Hey, for you Brautigan fans, you might like John Crowley's *Little,
Big*. The writing style is different, but no less bizarre and
intense.

IMO, it is one of the best books ever written.
