In the eight years that followed, he only rarely accepted invitations to lecture and consistently declined to be interviewed. In 1976, he made his first trip to Japan, where he lived off-and-on until his death. There he met Akiko, whom he married in 1978; the marriage failed, and they were divorced two years later. During the year of 1982, Brautigan taught at Montana State University in Bozeman. He then withdrew again. In October of 1984, his body was discovered at his home; he had shot himself in the head some four or five weeks earlier; Brautigan's poetry collections include June 30th, June 30th (1978), Loading Mercy with a Pitchfork (1975), Rommel Drives on Deep Into Egypt (1970), The San Francisco Weather Report (1969), and Please Plant This Book (eight poems printed on separate seed packet envelopes, 1968). His novels include The Tokyo-Montana Express (1980), Willard and his Bowling Trophies (1975), In Watermelon Sugar (1967), and A Confederate General from Big Sur (1964). Brautigan's last novel was recently discovered and published posthumously, under the title An Unfortunate Woman (2000)) <https://www.poets.org/poetsorg/poet/richard-brautigan> BRAUTIGAN.net, May 4, 2017: home page (Richard Brautigan; Richard Gary Brautigan (1935-1984)) about Brautigan > biography > background (American writer popular during the late 1960s and early 1970s; born in Tacoma, Washington on 30 January 1935; moved to San Francisco in 1956; died by suicide in late September 1984) <http://www.brautigan.net/> Web NDL authorities (Brautigan, Richard, 1935-1984; variants: ブローティガン, リチャード = Burōtigan, Richādo; ブロティガン, リチャアド = Burotigan, Richaado; ブローティガン, R = Burōtigan, R) <http://id.ndl.go.jp/auth/ndlna/00434240>
