About this listen

California, 1957. Lee Mellon believes he is the descendant of the only Confederate general to have come from Big Sur and is himself a seeker of truth in his own modern-day war against the status quo.

For the first time in audio, A Confederate General from Big Sur was the late Richard Brautigan's first published novel, written when he was 28.

Not a review, but a content warning for virulent homophobia to the extent of 22 instances of "rich Queer" in 5 pages who is purely there as a figure of ridicule and to be threatened with violence.
